Hulk & Serna Stun Remo as Fluminense Rally to Win 2-1

Fluminense clawed back from a goal down to snatch a dramatic 2-1 victory over Remo in Serie A’s 24th round, turning the Maracanã into a cauldron of relief and delirium as Hulk and Kevin Serna struck second-half blows to overturn Jaja’s shock opener.

Remo’s Early Surge Stuns Flu

The visitors, with just 24% possession all night, landed a sucker punch on 31 minutes when Marcelinho carved open Fluminense’s defence and Jaja slotted home. Hercules’ early yellow card had already set the tone for a scrappy first half, forcing Flu into three half-time substitutions as Marcao desperately reshuffled.

Fluminense’s Brazilian Power Couple

The introduction of Nonato for the booked Hercules proved inspired. On 66 minutes, Yeferson Soteldo – Fluminense’s livewire all night – teed up Hulk for a thunderous equaliser. The veteran striker’s last contribution before being subbed was to ignite the comeback, with Serna completing the turnaround seven minutes from time after Riquelme Felipe’s clever assist.

Stat-Telling Domination

Fluminense’s 76% possession and 13 shots (5 on target) told the story of their siege, while Remo’s lone second-half substitution – withdrawing goalscorer Jaja – backfired spectacularly. Marcelo Rangel’s five saves kept Remo in it, but Yago Pikachu’s late yellow card summed up their fading resistance.

What This Means

For Fluminense, this gritty comeback keeps their continental qualification push alive. For Remo, it’s heartbreak after a heroic defensive display that ultimately cracked under relentless pressure. Both sides now regroup for Matchday 25, with Flu riding a wave of momentum and Remo left to rue what might have been.
