Upon the return of the Brasileirão after the 15-day stoppage due to the climatic tragedy that struck Rio Grande do Sul, Fluminense once again disappointed its fans and only drew 1-1 with Juventude. The match, marked by another Fábio error and defensive failures, meant that the Tricolor did not win another match in which they parked the team at the bottom of the table.
The Warrior Team started the match in a sleepy manner. He doesn’t have the typical momentum when he plays at the Maracanã and the opposing team controls the first minutes and hits the post with Nenê. In this short period of play, it was conveyed to the spectators that it would be an unstable match for the Tricolor, which has become routine for this Fluminense player in 2024.
With many errors in positioning, ball release and marking on the left side, the match was completely unbalanced in favor of Juventude, who had the main chances and could have opened the scoring. Fluminense, who created little, had an arrival on the left wing. Ganso passed to Martinelli who invaded the area and was shot down. The referee signaled the penalty and Marcelo took it to open the scoring.
And here’s a space to take a stand on it. Tricolor has been making these things happen in their games lately. Players who call for the ball and will take penalties even if the official batsmen are on the field. In yesterday’s case Arias was in the game and he should take the penalty. It’s good that Marcelo scored, but it doesn’t always work during the match.
After the goal, the first half comes to an end and Fluminense wins the goal which could give them the peace of mind they need to emerge victorious in the second half. But the individual error once again cost the Tricolore three points.
The second half, which seemed controlled by the team, was put in check by a bizarre error by Fábio. The goalkeeper received a block from Thiago Santos and had complete freedom to touch the flanks or trigger a direct play, providing a safe shot for the attack. But Fábio failed and caught Jadson, who only pushed for the Tricolore goal.
Marquinhos, chosen to play at right back, played a decent game. He wasn’t able to offer great game options and left Arias alone on that side. As a result, Fluminense chose to play on the left side most of the time, which became very predictable in creating plays.
In the end, the team failed to impose a strong rhythm to resolve the tie. Even with an extra player, the team was limited to throwing balls into the box and didn’t even have a tall striker to compete high up the pitch.
With the draw, Fluminense rises to 6 points and is only in 15th place in the Championship. The team that aimed to fight for the title, the Libertadores, today finds itself very far from the main positions of the Brasileirão. All these lost points will be lost in the final part and the Tricolor needs to get back on track in the Brazilian Championship.
