First Half: Fluminense Dominate, Dortmund Struggle to Settle<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nFluminense, led by veteran defender Thiago Silva<\/strong>, started brightly and dictated the tempo with sharp passing and aggressive pressing. The Brazilian side registered seven shots in the first half<\/strong>, while Dortmund failed to register a single effort on target before the break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/gh\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/fluminense-3.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nJhon Arias<\/strong> and Matheus Martinelli<\/strong> were particularly lively, with the former forcing a smart save from Gregor Kobel<\/strong> and the latter narrowly missing the target from distance. Dortmund\u2019s best moment came when Karim Adeyemi<\/strong> flashed a low cross across the box, but Serhou Guirassy<\/strong> couldn\u2019t connect.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSecond Half<\/a>: Kobel Heroics and Missed Opportunities<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe second half followed a similar pattern, with Fluminense continuing to threaten. In the 59th minute, Everaldo<\/strong> broke through on goal but opted to square to Agust\u00edn Canobbio<\/strong>, whose shot was saved by Kobel. Moments later, Kobel produced a stunning double save \u2014 first parrying Everaldo\u2019s deflected strike and then denying Nonato<\/strong> on the rebound, though the latter was flagged offside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/gh\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/fluminense-2-1.jpg\")
