The players of Fluminense and Sao Paolo achieved victories in the first matches of the eighth finals of the Brazilian Cup.
Fluminese defeated Cruzeiro 2 : 1 at home.
However, Fluminense has something to regret because he could have celebrated more convincingly without any problems and gone much calmer to Belo Horizonte for a rematch.
The hosts took the lead in the 45th minute through Manoel, but Cruzeiro managed to equalize in the seventh minute of the first half when he hit Oliveiro.
The goal for Flu’s victory was scored by Kano in the 56th minute.
