Flu wins with a mess and a great goal in 15 minutes and is close to the Sula quarterfinals

Off the crossbar! Hércules charged down the left, took the ball to the middle, and passed it to Canobbio. The Uruguayan controlled the ball inside the box, took aim, and unleashed a shot. It flew past Soto but hit the crossbar.

Fábio again! Carrascal had another chance to finish from the edge of the Fluminense box. He unleashed a low shot, but Fábio dove in to palm it away, preventing the Colombians' first goal.

Barrios reduces the deficit: 2-1 . América de Cali seemed to have a dead ball on the right, but Castillo managed a spectacular pass and served Barrios, who shot first time, against Fábio's foot, to reduce the deficit.
