April 30th, 2008 · No Comments

Thiago Neves was able to score Fluminense’s first goal from a penalty after Nacional’s David Ospina was sent off the field for a foul in the penalty area.

Eight minutes in the second half Francisco Arrué was able to equal the score, but Nacional wasn’t able to defend the following pressure by the Brazilian team. Conca scored 18 minutes before the final whistle, eliminating Nacional from the tournament.

Fluminense will play against the winner of fellow Brazilians São Paulo or Uruguayan Nacional, depending on who wins Thursday’s game.
