FIRST TIME

Fluminense approached the penalty area in the first minute of the game. Alexsander stole the ball in midfield, found Cano further ahead and the striker had his shot blocked. At 9 minutes, Alexsander recovered the ball again, this time closer to the goal, and passed it to Cano, who, inside the area, stopped it at the post. Next, Diogo Barbosa advanced on the left and crossed low into the penalty area, but no one was able to finish.

After a few more moves in the attacking half, Tricolor came close to threatening again in the 38th minute. Samuel Xavier sent the ball into the box, Keno headed it and the goalkeeper took possession. In the 39th minute, Igor Gomes scored for Internacional. In the 44th minute, Keno got past his marker on the left side, crossed and Thiago Santos controlled it with his chest, but the defense managed to clear it. In injury time, Ganso sent a bomb from the middle of the field and tied the score.

SECOND TIME

At 3 minutes, Samuel took a free kick and the goalkeeper took possession. At 23 minutes, Ganso threw the ball into the area with a free kick in the middle and Thiago Santos headed it, which the goalkeeper saved. At 24 minutes, Douglas Costa received the ball on the right, cut inside, shot and the goalkeeper saved it once again.
