📹 Fluminense beat Platense and sit pretty for Libertadores semis

📹 Fluminense beat Platense and sit pretty for Libertadores semis At the Maracanã, Fluminense beat Platense 2-0 this Tuesday (8) in the first leg of the 2026 Conmebol Libertadores quarterfinals. Highlights coming up shortly The first half from the Tricolor das Laranjeiras was one for the books. After 20 minutes, Hulk was the "bow" as he provided the assist for Nonato to open the scoring. Ten minutes later, the No. 7 was the "arrow" as he latched onto a superb pass from PH Ganso in the box and doubled the lead.  With a solid advantage built in the first half, Fluminense took their foot off the gas but always kept possession of the ball. In the second half, the Argentine side looked more dangerous, especially from crosses. In the final minutes, Fluminense dropped back too much and handed the ball to Platense, who began to threaten the Tricolor box dangerously. 🚦 How it stands With the 2-0 win, Fluminense can even lose by one goal in Argentina next Tuesday (15) and still advance to the Libertadores semifinals. Platense need to win by two goals to take it to penalties, or by three or more to qualify for the next round. Whoever comes through this Brazil vs. Argentina tie will face Palmeiras or LDU. Tricolor Carioca return to action next Saturday (12), when they visit Atlético-MG at Arena MRV for the 27th round of the Brasileirão.
