The game was distinguished by the first half, with some clear opportunities for both teams. Fluminense achieved a goal in 28 minutes, when Facundo Bernal scored, but arbitration invalidated this step with a touch of hand in the play. In the second half, San Jose managed to press more and got the winning goal after Joel Lopez Bisano, who watched Calo Lesi precisely.
The statistics of the match reflects the balance in this field. Fluminense had the highest level of ball (59 % compared to 41 %), but San Jose was more effective in the introductions, reaching 4 kicks in the target against 1 of the Brazilian team. The Bolivian also benefited from the correct intersections (3 to 5) and the objection (6 to 0), which indicates a more solid defense.

Fluminense, who came from a tie in the previous round, with 7 points in second place, remains missing the opportunity to take the initiative.
