Fluminense vs Goiás Match Preview
Fluminense continue their assault on the championship, one point ahead of the pack but confidently aware that they have been there or thereabouts all season. Fluminense may have some established names in Deco, Emerson and Fred but have maintained a steady performance throughout the season, even when injuries have occurred, due to a strong squad.
Expect Fluminsense to win on Sunday against a team that languishes 19th in the table on 31 points. It will almost certainly condemn them to relegation. However, Thursday night’s scrappy 1-0 win against Avai in the Copa Sudamericana that gives them a semi-final against
Palmeiras, might spur Goias on to greater efforts in the league. Flu should prove too strong though.
Fluminense vs Goiás Match Report
The expected pressure Fluminense fans expected to put on struggling Goias rarely happened. Tarta and Fred were there to impove their lead at the top of the table but it never materialized.
Goias, in trouble at the bottom of the league had come to fight for some points and defended well and were trying to press on counter attacks. They were rewarded in the 19th minute when Jones intercepted a pass by Carlinhos and crossed for Rafael Moura to head home.
Fluminense continued to press but were again and again thwarted by the Goias defense and held out until seven minutes from the end when Ernando brought down Rodriguinho in the area. Conca hit a fierce penalty straight down the middle but Fluminense will see this as two points lost.
