Part 4/6:
On the pitch, Flamengo's Wesley was instrumental in opening the scoring, exhibiting brilliant form and confidence to position his team favorably. The second goal came from another recent addition, Juninho, further solidifying Flamengo's strength in attack. Juninho’s goal, assisted by players like Gerson and Arrascaeta, highlighted the strategic exploitation of Fluminense's defensive vulnerabilities.
The resilience of Fluminense was evident when Keno, who had faced personal challenges just days prior, scored a goal that reignited hope for his team. His late-game header not only reduced the deficit but also injected passion into the Fluminense supporters, leaving them with a glimmer of opportunity ahead of the decisive second match.
