Fluminense dominates Borussia Dortmund, but cannot attack and linked to the debut of the World Cup


The lack of effectiveness prevents the victory of the Rio team, which is superior during the game at the Metlife Stadium

East Rutherford – As Palmeiras did against Porto, Fluminense dominated a European rival, pressed and lost all the main possibilities he created in his debut in World clubs. Rio’s team frustrates the tie without networks with Borussia Dortmund Tuesday 17, in Metlife StadiumArena who received just over 34,000 fans, most of whom are Tricolor.

Fluminense’s second commitment to the World Cup will be against the UlsanFrom South Korea. The game, also scheduled for Metlife, will be Saturday 21, to 19 hours (from Brasilia). On the same day, but at 13 hours, Borussia Dortmund faces the Mamelodi sundownsfrom South Africa.

Member of Group F, Fluminense has practically dominated the entire game on Metlife Stadium. Game volume, defensive and offensive actions, hypertension on the ball of the German rival and an aggressive position that did not work alone, but, for the ineffectiveness of the Cariocas.

Fluminense’s performance was further proof that the distance between Europeans and South American is not so big. With the exception of duels against the European elite teams – PSG, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich – Brazilian teams can compete in equal conditions against Europe’s opponent.

It was bold and courageous fluminense in both times. The triangulations with Arias Canobbio and the two sides, Renê and Samuel Xavier, worked and the four took the danger for Kobel’s goal. Only the Colombian feet came out three possibilities to open at least the score. Nobody has entered.

The defensive insurance thanks mainly to the performance of Thiago Silva, who knew how to stop the Guineo center GirassyThe team found spaces almost every time they were looking for and, in advance, used the insecurity of Borussia to steal the ball when the Germans exchanged steps in defense.

There were two great moments of Fluminense, who maintained posture in the final phase and finished the game with 14 finishes, twice Dortmund. The conclusion that perhaps the more players were more than counterattacks that began with Arias, the feet of Everaldo passed and ended with a weak Canobbio football. Everaldo, alone at the head of the goalkeeper, could have done something better.

The Cariocas left the lawn certainly frustrated and in mourning the added point because, they had had more intelligent decisions near the goal, they would have won the strongest opponent of the key.
