Fred nets winner as Fluminense rise to second

Xinhua, July 13, 2015 Adjust font size:

Former Brazil striker Fred scored in the 93rd minute as Fluminense won 2-1 at Atletico Paranaense in Brazil's Serie A championship on Sunday.

After a scoreless first half, Gustavo Scarpa broke the deadlock early in the second half by rifling a shot into the top corner after Fred's deft through ball.

Atletico equalized when Sidcley met Walter's cross and headed in at the far post.

Fred then restored Fluminense's lead in the final seconds with a diving header after Renato swung in a cross from the right.

The result at Arena da Baixada lifted Fluminense to second in the standings with 27 points from 13 matches, two points behind leaders Atletico Mineiro.
