Como o jogo se desenhou

Fluminense started pressing, culminating in the shot from Guilherme Arana that found the back of the net at 10 minutes, taking advantage of 71% possession and 535 accurate passes. The dominance continued, but the tricolor defense made a mistake that led to the equalizer from Fabrizio Sartori at 37 minutes, after a quick counter-attack. Still with the ball, the visitor maintained the pressure and, at 51, Alex Arce extended the score, sealing the comeback before the interval.

Match Highlights

In addition to the scorers, Argentine striker Alex Arce stood out by creating the decisive chance, demonstrating efficiency in the few counter-attacks. Fluminense had Guilherme Arana as their only offensive highlight, but the lack of support limited the finishing options. Defensively, the Rio de Janeiro team did not receive any cards, while the visitor received four yellows, reflecting the intensity of the duel.

What the Numbers Say

Despite the defeat, Fluminense dominated the statistics: 71% possession, 21 shots (9 on goal) and 10 accurate crosses. However, only two clear chances were created, none of which were converted. Independiente Rivadavia, with only 29% possession, was more effective in the opportunities they had, recording two great chances and converting one. The visiting goalkeepers also stood out with two top-class saves, while the tricolor goalkeeper made only two.

What Changes Now

With the win, Independiente Rivadavia moves up the Group C table, putting pressure on the next rounds, mainly against Palmeiras, who still have their first match. Fluminense, on the other hand, needs to improve the conversion of created chances and reduce the errors that cost the goal, to not lose the protagonism in the dispute for qualification.
