The game was completely dominated by the Tricolor from the start.
After accumulating good chances, Fluminense opened the scoring with a beautiful goal from Canobbio, taking a volley in the small area.
The Cariocas also had a ball hit the post with Samuel Xavier in the first half.
In the end, after a miracle from goalkeeper Losada and Freytes missing a goal under the crossbar, LanĂºs managed to draw.

LanĂºs, on the other hand, awaits the winner of Alianza Lima and Universidad de Chile.
