Cruzeiro drew 0-0 with Fluminense, on Sunday (09/11), in a match marked by controversy and missed chances at the Mineirão. Upon leaving the field, defender Fabricio Bruno analyzed the score. For the defender, the home team deserves a better result. Furthermore, he lamented the lack of scoring and the impressive performance of the opposition goalkeeper, Cruzeiro star Fabio, who was instrumental in keeping the result alive.
The defender said: “I think we needed to have a happier afternoon and a little luck, didn’t we?”
Fabricio Bruno even made sure to praise the Fluminense goalkeeper. He added: “I think Fabio performed very well in the match, and in the chances we had, he was the one who saved the team.”
After all, Cruzeiro had clear chances, such as hitting the ball off Keke’s post, but it stopped at the former home team’s goalkeeper.
The defender also highlighted Raposa’s control of the match. In his view, Leonardo Jardim’s side were superior most of the time.
“We knew we would have more control of the match,” Fabricio Bruno said.
However, he admitted that the team failed to turn this superiority into a victory. “Unfortunately we were not able to translate this complete control into goals,” said the defender.
With the draw, Cruzeiro maintains third place with 64 points and maintains its long unbeaten run in the Brazilian league, which now stands at eight matches. In fact, the team is practically guaranteed in the next Libertadores tournament and continues to collect points at the top of the standings.
