This was the match between Unión and Fluminense
Union tried a little more at the beginning, with the idea of having a dynamic game, and trying to get to Fluminense from the sides, and in those first minutes he had his only arrivals of the first half, in a cross from Alvez that Luna Diale He headed high, and in an overflow by Roldán that Fábio controlled when Alvez came through the middle just to define.
The Rio de Janeiro team passed the hot flash and began to play the game at a more tiring and leisurely pace, and with the management of the midfield they had much more of the ball, with 63 percent possession. But, at the same time, it was difficult for ‘Flu’ to reach the visiting area, because Ganso was imprecise in the passes, Luiz Henrique was contained, and only the quick-moving Cano managed to find some spaces, and it was the Argentine striker who caused the first visitor arrival, with a cross that Mele saved with courage when Luiz Henrique arrived alone.
The match began to burn out with a team from Rio de Janeiro that could not find ways to unbalance, too lukewarm in their attempts, while Unión woke up only after 60 minutes, when Luna Diale tried with a frontal bombardment that forced an effort by Fábio to pull it over.
The visit had its last chance in a left-footed shot from mid-range by Luiz Henrique, just wide, but in the last minutes it was all Union, who scratched the victory in a left-footed shot by Luna Diale very close to the right corner, in the clearest chance of the game. venue throughout the night.
