PivotalOutstanding performance

Platense produced a dominant home performance, controlling 55% of possession and creating a staggering 82 dangerous attacks compared to Fluminense's 21, but it wasn't enough to overturn the tie. Goals from Guido Mainero and Bruno Sepúlveda either side of halftime gave the Argentine side a 2-0 lead on the night and had them dreaming of a comeback, but Agustín Canobbio's clinical counter-attack finish just after the break proved decisive on aggregate. Fluminense showed defensive resilience despite being outshot heavily, with four saves from their goalkeeper and disciplined tackling snuffing out Platense's late pressure. The result means Fluminense progress in the Copa Libertadores 3-2 on aggregate, while Platense's tournament run ends despite arguably the better performance across the tie's second leg.
How entertaining was this match?
Platense host Fluminense at Vicente López needing to overturn a 2-0 aggregate deficit from the first leg, where goals from Nonato and Hulk gave the Brazilian side a commanding advantage. With their Libertadores campaign on the line, Platense must produce an all-out attacking display or see their run end at the quarter-final stage.
