Palmeiras vs Fluminense Match Report
Fluminense came into this game needing a win to maintain their lead at the top. They started nervously and went one down after only four minutes.
Dinei latched on to a hopeless back pass by Carlinhos and hit an unstoppable right foot half volley out of the reach of keeper Ricardo Berna from just outside the angle of the penalty area.
However, he made up for his error when he leveled the scores after 18 minutes. Cutting in from the left he curled in a right footer into the top corner from just outside the box.
Tarta, on for Deco, wrapped up the points after Deola had beaten out a shot and followed up to pick his spot with a precision left foot shot to the keeper’s right.
