Colombian guarantees 1-0 in the final minutes in a game marked by confusion, sending-offs and VAR interventions.
Fluminense fans like to provoke saying that winning Fla-Flu is normal. There were four wins in the 2021 season. And you can add one more to your account. This Sunday, Tricolor won the first classic of the year by 1 to 0, with a header by Jhon Arias in the final minutes. The confrontation at Nilton Santos was still marked by a lot of confusion and two decisive interventions by VAR: first to cancel a penalty in favor of Flamengo and then to cancel a goal scored by Gabigol when the game was still 0-0.
With the victory, Fluminense climbed to the second place of Carioca with nine points (it can still lose the position to Botafogo that plays this Monday). Tricolor returns to the field next Thursday to face Alvinegro, again at Nilton Santos. Flamengo, on the other hand, stopped at seven points, dropped to fourth position and will also return to the field next Thursday. Face Audax at Raulino de Oliveira.
