After falling behind on the scoreboard, Fluminense dominated the second half of Sunday's 4th round match of the first half of the Rio de Janeiro state championship, beating Cabofriense 4-2.
The match marked the return of star midfielder Dario Conca to the line-up a little more than a month after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery.
Playing on the road, Fluminense jumped out to a quick lead in the 6th minute of play. Off an indirect kick, Souza rolled the ball off to Fred on a set play, leading to the strikers excellently placed ball into the right side of the home team's net.
Cabofriense responded with two consecutive goals. The equalizer came in the 31st minute when Capixaba redirected a ball delivered from Zotti, sliding it under a diving keeper Diego Cavalieri. As the second half began, the home team claimed the lead in the 49th minute when Diego Sales converted a penalty kick.
However, Fluminense reacted by scoring three unanswered goals. The tying goal came in the 65th minute when Andre Luiz headed in a Souza corner kick. In the 79th minute, Fred scored his second goal off an assist from Willians. The team's fourth goal came in the 82nd minute when Marquinho's centered ball was knocked in by a cutting Willians.
The result leaves Fluminense undefeated in 2011, earning its 12th points. Nevertheless, the team stands behind Botafogo in Group B based on goals difference.
In the next round of play, Fluminense will look to extend its winning streak against Duque de Caxias on February 3. On the previous day, Cabofriense will travel to face Madureira.
