RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) – A second-half goal from Luiz Henrique gave Fluminense a 2-1 win over Sao Paulo on Sunday in Brazil’s Serie A.
The 20-year-old right winger struck on the counter attack midway through the second half after a penalty from Sao Paulo’s Reinaldo on the hour mark had cancelled out Nino’s opener for Fluminense early in the second period.
The result keeps Fluminense in seventh place, a point behind Corinthians, while Sao Paulo fall to 16th, just one place above the relegation zone. Hernan Crespo’s side have 22 points from 19 games.
