Flu performance
Fluminense kept the 3-5-2 scheme, having a midfielder and an attacking duo, as was the case in the Carioca finals. The team had more of the ball, but until the middle of the first half, it was difficult to find spaces in the opposing team.

The team returned for the second half with the same structure, but, little by little, with the substitutions, the Tricolor gained new breath and maintained the good rhythm.
Oriente Petrolero’s performance
With a formation designed, more or less, in the 4-5-1, Oriente Petrolero sought to populate the midfield and press the ball out of the Flu. The strategy worked for a while, but gradually became less effective. The Bolivian team even had good attacks, but when they didn’t run into their own mistakes, they stayed in the marking.
The team, even behind on the scoreboard, managed some good plots, with interesting exchanges of passes, but without so much effectiveness.

There and here
The return of the break was busy. The Tricolor, in the first few minutes, pressed and, by a little, Ganso was unable to make the team’s third. Oriente Petrolero, in turn, took advantage of the flu’s defensive system nap and, in a good move, Carlos Roque stopped in Fábio. Shortly after, after the ball went from foot to foot, Yago hit it and sent it to the foot of the post.
Scare
