Fluminense kept their Copa Libertadores alive at the Maracanã.

Luciano Acosta opened the scoring in the 6th minute, Carlos Melgar leveled in the 24th minute, and Carlos Lampe spent the next 45 minutes doing the work that keepers do when their team has been pinned.

John Kennedy finally won it off the bench in the 71st. Lampe denied two more in stoppage.

The whistle went, and the Rio side are still in the competition.
