Fluminense is the first semi-finalist of the Copa Do Brasil-2025.
After a defeat in Salvador of 1 x 0, the Rio team beat Bahia by 2 x 0 Wednesday evening (10), in Maracanã.
With a decisive objective by Captain Thiago Silva, 40 and champion of the 2007 edition of the flu led by Renato Gaúcho.
Fluminense obtained his sixth presence in the semi-final of the tournament and a price of 9.9 million R of R 98,669 participants.
As well as a Rio semi-final against Botafogo or Vasco.
The flu is trying, but …
The reverse in Salvador forced the hosts to look for the goal from the start.
They had more possession (around 70%). But without producing the necessary with the ball in the 1st half.
They posed a danger with Thiago Silva in the air and had two correct finishes – but both without problems for Ronaldo. And that’s it.
Bahia, on the other hand, had trouble engaging counterattacks. Its transition was slow.
They managed to control the momentum of the opponent by playing in a 5-4-1 without the ball.
Deserved by hosts
The flu has returned with Acosta, ending the three defensive fields.
Meanwhile, Bahia began to have Sanabria instead of yellow and ineffective kayky kayky.
Renato Gaúcho was more successful, because the short Acosta made the difference for the penalty committed by Michel Araújo.
