Fluminense draws 0-0 with Rivadavia in Copa Libertadores round of 16

Fluminense faced Independiente Rivadavia at the Maracanã on August 11, where they ended the match in a 0-0 draw in the first leg of the Copa Libertadores round of 16. This result continued Fluminense's poor performance since their return from the World Cup, making it six consecutive matches without a win, including a recent loss in the Copa do Brasil. The team struggled with tactical organization and attacking efficiency, recording their first notable chance late in the first half. Fans expressed their frustration toward players and management by booing and chanting at the final whistle. The second leg is set for August 18, and a win is necessary for Fluminense to advance to the quarter-finals; a draw would lead to a penalty shootout.
