Outstanding performance
Fluminense•AttackerAthletico PR looked to be cruising after Gastón Benavídez put them 2-1 up just after halftime, dominating the ball with 68 dominance rating and creating wave after wave of pressure with 58 dangerous attacks to Fluminense's 16. But Fluminense's away-day resilience shone through, with Canobbio and Ignácio turning the game on its head to put the visitors 3-2 up by the 78th minute. Just when Athletico PR's title-race hopes looked dashed, Kevin Viveros won and converted a stoppage-time penalty to snatch a dramatic point for the hosts. Despite being outshot 17-12, Fluminense's clinical edge in key moments proved the difference in a match that swung four times in the final 45 minutes.
