Soccer-Fluminense take the points as Sao Paulo edge closer to relegation zone

The 20-year-old right winger struck on the counter attack midway through the second half after a penalty from Sao Paulo's Reinaldo on the hour mark had cancelled out Nino’s opener for Fluminense early in the second period. The result keeps Fluminense in seventh place, a point behind Corinthians, while Sao Paulo fall to 16th, just one place above the relegation zone.
