Match report

Fluminense beat Corinthians 3:1 in the Brazilian Serie A on Sunday evening at the Neo Química Arena. The visitors took all three points after a match where the hosts dominated possession but could not find the net enough times. It was a result that moved Fluminense further clear in fifth place while Corinthians remained stuck in fourteenth.

By then the visitors had already settled into a rhythm. Hulk opened the scoring in the twenty-fourth minute and the goal was confirmed after a VAR check. He scored again in the seventy-sixth minute to put Fluminense two goals ahead, and Gustavo Henrique added a third in the fifty-sixth. Kevin Serna made it 3:1 in the ninety-third minute.

Corinthians worked the channels and created space, but the finishing was not there. They recorded seven shots on target and eleven inside the penalty area, yet only managed to beat the goalkeeper once. Fluminense, by contrast, hit six shots on target from six attempts and converted them with clinical efficiency.

There were nine yellow cards in total, with Memphis Depay and Hulk both booked. The hosts made more passes overall, completing 452 compared to Fluminense's 349, but their expected goals of 2.44 told a different story. Fluminense's 2.38 xG meant they took their chances when they came along.

Corinthians sit on 33 points after 28 games, eight wins and nine draws. Fluminense have 46 points, twelve victories and ten draws. The gap between them is now thirteen points, and the visitors are holding on in the top half while the hosts look over their shoulders.
