📝 Fluminense stun Flamengo with two late goals in Carioca final first leg

After Fluminense shocked many by winning the Taça Guanabara outright, many predicted Flamengo would exact revenge on their rivals in the Campeonato Carioca final.

However, more shocks would come as a late two-minute brace from Germán Cano near the full-time whistle gave the Tricolor Flu Fluzão a 2-0 win in the first leg.

Scorers: Cano 83′, 85′

Cano’s first goal would come after Léo Pereira, who had just entered the match, made a terrible defensive error, being dispossessed as the last defender and allowing the Fluminense attack to strike.

Less than two minutes later, Flamengo’s attempts to launch an all-out attack blew up in their faces, giving Cano the opportunity to score a second time after a two-on-one breakaway.

The two sides will go back to the Maracanã on Saturday to see who will lift the trophy.
