Corinthians vs Fluminense

Fluminense came from behind at the Neo Química Arena to beat Corinthians 3-1, turning a tight contest into another painful defeat for the home side. Corinthians controlled plenty of the ball early on but couldn't translate it into chances, and it was Fluminense who struck first through a clinical finish. Hulk opened the scoring in the 25th minute, a goal that briefly drew an offside protest from Corinthians before VAR confirmed it stood. Gustavo Henrique leveled things up early in the second half, giving the home crowd hope, but Hulk struck again to restore the visitors' lead before Serna sealed it deep into stoppage time. No red cards were shown, though several players on both sides picked up bookings. The result piles more misery on Corinthians, who now sit 14th with 32 points after a sixth consecutive league defeat and only a slim cushion above the relegation zone. For Fluminense, the win was a statement away from home, lifting them to 48 points and up into third place in the table.
