Savarino shines and Fluminense beats Nova Iguaçu in a friendly

In a friendly played at Maracanã, in Rio de Janeiro, Fluminense beat Nova Iguaçu 6-1 this Wednesday (8). Despite Hulk's long-awaited debut with the tricolor shirt, the highlight of the match was Venezuelan Savarino, who scored two goals and actively participated in others in building the elastic score.

Hulk, Fluminense's new number 7, had chances to score in the first half, but was unable to find the net. Fluminense's other goals were scored by Hércules, Martinelli, John Kennedy and Cano, who helped seal the 'massacre' over the Baixada team. Zavoli, from Nova Iguaçu, opened the scoring.

The game started off busy and, in the first few minutes, Hulk almost scored with his first move, with the ball hitting the post. However, it was Nova Iguaçu who took the lead after nine minutes, with Zavoli taking advantage of a free kick and beating Renê high up to open the scoring.

Savarino leads Fluminense's comeback
Fluminense didn't take long to react. Savarino, with a beautiful individual play, dribbled around the marking and shot. Goalkeeper Willis Mota saved, but Hércules took advantage of the rebound and tied the match. Ten minutes later, Savarino shone again and, with assistance from Serna after triangulation with Hulk, turned the game around for Tricolor.

Still in the first half, the fans booed the player Freytes, in one of the few negative moments of the initial stage for Fluminense. Hulk still had a clear chance to score, receiving it from Savarino, but sent it over the crossbar with the goal empty.

Confirmed goal in the second half
When returning for the second half, Savarino confirmed his great performance. After just three minutes, the Venezuelan received the ball from Lucho Acosta and scored his second goal of the match, Fluminense's third, extending the lead. Hulk, in turn, continued without scoring.
