Win over Vitória puts Flu in an elite group in the Brasileiro, find out why

On the afternoon of this Saturday (20), Fluminense defeated Vitória by 1 x 0, at Barradão, in a match valid for the 24th round of the Brasileirão.

The goal that brought relief to the tricolor fans was scored by Hercules.

With the result, Fluminense entered the "group of 80" of the Brasileirão.

That's because only four clubs have 80 or more victories in the national championship in the decade (from 2020 onwards).

The Carioca Tricolor is the new member, with 80 victories, only behind Atlético-MG (82), Flamengo (100) and Palmeiras (102).

Fluminense's achievement stands out as it is the only club among the four that has not been Brazilian champion in this period, after all, the Rubro-Negro lifted the trophy in 2020, the Galo in 2021, and the Verdão in 2022 and 2023.

The best position of the Tricolor das Laranjeiras in the period was third place, in 2022.

Besides the interesting milestone, the victory ended Fluminense's three-round winless streak.

Now, the Carioca Tricolor has 31 points and occupies the eighth position in the classification table.

And it also boosts the team's morale, as on next Tuesday (23), Fluminense will host Lanús, at Maracanã, for the return match of the quarterfinals of the South American. In the first leg, the Argentines won by 1 x 0.
