In a pivotal clash, Cruzeiro secured a decisive 2-0 away victory over Fluminense, a result that extended their impressive unbeaten run while halting Fluminense's recent positive momentum in the league.
Before this evening's encounter, Fluminense had their sights firmly set on continental qualification, viewing this home fixture against the second-placed team as a crucial test to secure vital points and boost their Copa Sudamericana aspirations. Meanwhile, Cruzeiro, comfortably holding a Copa Libertadores spot, arrived with the clear objective of extending their remarkable unbeaten run and continuing their relentless pursuit of the league leaders.
Fluminense
vs
Cruzeiro
The Maracanã saw the opening goal arrive in the 30th minute when, following a corner from the right, Fabricio Bruno rose high from outside the six-yard box to meet the cross with a flicked header that nestled into the top left corner of the net (0-1).
Just six minutes later, Cruzeiro doubled their lead. On the left corner of the box, Matheus Pereira delivered a low diagonal pass towards the penalty spot for Kaio Jorge, who had surged in between the central defence to tap in from close range into the lower right corner (0-2).
For Fluminense, this 0-2 home defeat brought an end to their three-match unbeaten run in the league. They had hoped to boost their continental qualification aspirations, and while their improved attacking form was a point of focus coming into the match, they failed to find the net at home for the first time this season, despite having consistently scored in all five of their previous home matches. This result means they'll need to regroup and find a way to convert their attacking prowess into goals against top-tier opposition in future fixtures.
Cruzeiro, on the other hand, celebrated their second consecutive win, extending their impressive unbeaten run to nine matches in the league. Their clinical first-half goals, scored within a five-minute span, perfectly showcased their tendency to start strong as before the match 62% of their goals were noted to come in the first half, including 24% in the first 15 minutes.
This commanding victory further solidifies their second-place position and their pursuit of the league leaders, building on their already formidable form and outstanding points per game average. They will aim to maintain this momentum and their solid defensive record, especially on the road where they now have kept a clean sheet in their last four away matches, as they continue their challenge at the top of the table.
2nd consecutive win for Cruzeiro. 4th consecutive away game where Cruzeiro kept a clean sheet. 2nd consecutive game where Cruzeiro scored. 4th consecutive home game where Fluminense conceded.
To calculate the above duration values based on a total of 90 minutes, goals scored on the 45th minute and during added time of the first half are considered scored on the 45th minute, and goals scored on the 90th minute and during added time of the second half are considered scored on the 90th minute.
