Fluminense aims to secure their spot in the Copa Sudamericana 2025 quarterfinals this Tuesday in Rio de Janeiro, following a 1-2 victory in the first leg against América de Cali, a team grappling with a tough sporting moment.

Fluminense, riding high with Cano and Canobbio

The Rio-based team, led by Renato Gaúcho, is in top form thanks to the performances of their forwards:

Agustín Canobbio has scored 9 goals this season, including one against Fortaleza in the latest Brasileirao match.

Germán Cano, the Argentine star, has netted 3 goals in his last 4 games and is in excellent physical condition.

Fluminense defeated Fortaleza 2-1 over the weekend, climbing to eighth place in the Brasileirao and nearing the qualification zone for the Copa Libertadores.

Thiago Silva, a key absence; Fábio chases a historic record

The team will be without their defensive leader, Thiago Silva, sidelined by a muscle injury since August 4.

In contrast, 44-year-old goalkeeper Fábio is set to play his 1,391st professional match, surpassing the world record held by English goalkeeper Peter Shilton.

América de Cali needs a miracle at the Maracaná

The Diablos Rojos are aiming for a historic upset at the Maracaná. However, the odds are against them: in their history, they have only secured two wins in Brazil, the last one in the 1993 Copa Libertadores.

Their current form isn’t helping either: América is 18th in the Colombian league with just 4 points from 5 matches and is coming off a 2-1 loss to Deportivo Pereira. Additionally, they will be without Dylan Borrero, recently signed by Fortaleza, who remains injured.
