Fluminense endured a tense night, but it ended happily this Wednesday (27).
The Tricolor das Laranjeiras beat La Guaira 3-1 and also benefited from Bolívar’s 3-1 defeat to Independiente Rivadavia to secure a place in the Libertadores round of 16.
Savarino opened the scoring from the penalty spot just 10 minutes into the match at the Maracanã, but the Venezuelan side equalized shortly afterward through Londoño.
Hércules and Canobbio sealed Flu’s victory, and in the closing stages of the match, attention turned to Santa Cruz de la Sierra.
The match between Bolívar and Independiente Rivadavia was level until second-half stoppage time.
If the Bolivian side had won, Fluminense would have been eliminated from the Libertadores.
But Rivadavia gave the Brazilian team a helping hand and scored twice in the final minutes to win 3-1.
