Overview

• Marcelino Moreno scored in the final minute of regulation after a counter led by Eduardo Salvio, with the shot deflecting off goalkeeper Fábio and the post.
• The cagey match at La Fortaleza in Buenos Aires produced few clear chances as Fluminense prioritized a compact shape and rarely threatened.
• To advance in regulation, Fluminense needs a two-goal home win; a one-goal victory would take the tie to penalties, with Lanús progressing with a draw.
• Coach Renato Gaúcho said the tie remains open and defended his substitutions as responses to perceived fatigue and an effort to chase a win.
• With a Brasileiro trip to Vitória on September 20, coverage points to continued squad management as the club emphasizes its continental campaign.
