Fluminense vs Vitória
Match Report
Fluminense were heading for defeat at the Maracanã before Kevin Serna struck in the 91st minute to snatch a thrilling 2-2 draw against Vitória in a memorable Serie A Round 15 clash on May 9.
John Kennedy put the hosts ahead on 36 minutes, but the game turned after the break. A VAR-awarded penalty brought Vitória level through Renato Kayzer on 63 minutes, and Renê Sousa followed up just four minutes later to stun the Maracanã and put the visitors in front. Six yellow cards were distributed across a heated second half. Fluminense pushed desperately, and Serna delivered the moment of the night with a stoppage-time leveler that sent the crowd into delirium.
The point keeps Fluminense, sitting third in the table, firmly in the title conversation, while ninth-placed Vitória will be satisfied taking something away from one of Brazil's most storied venues.
