Hulk scores twice as Corinthians suffers sixth straight loss, dropping to three points above the drop zone.
KEY POINTS
- Fluminense won 3-1 at Corinthians in Brasileirão round 28
- Hulk scored twice; Serna and Gustavo Henrique also on target
- Corinthians winless in a month: six losses, one draw in last seven
- Hosts sit 14th with 32 points, three clear of relegation zone
- Fluminense move provisionally to third with 48 points
Fluminense defeated Corinthians 3-1 at Neo Química Arena on Sunday in the 28th round of the Brasileirão. Hulk scored twice for the visitors, the second after a mistake by goalkeeper Hugo Souza, while Serna added a third; Gustavo Henrique netted for the hosts.
Corinthians have now gone a full month without a win, collecting six defeats and one draw in their last seven matches. The result leaves the São Paulo side on 32 points in 14th place, only three points above Grêmio, who occupy the first relegation spot.
Fluminense climb provisionally to third with 48 points. The 40-year-old Hulk has now scored seven league goals this season.
Corinthians' main organised supporter group turned their backs during the opening minutes in protest at the recent Libertadores quarter-final exit. Memphis Depay, criticised for that elimination, had a quiet game as pressure mounts on coach Fernando Diniz.
No Corinthians player spoke to the official broadcaster after the final whistle, defying league protocol. Both teams now have a 17-day break before the next round in early October.
