[VIDEOS] Eduardo Vargas’ quick double against Fluminense at the Maracaná

Atlético Mineiro featured a stellar performance by the Chilean striker Eduardo Vargaswho came off the bench to maintain his team’s undefeated record in the tournament and sign a 2-2 draw against Fluminense at the Maracaná Stadium for the fifth day of the Brasileirao.

The Creole soccer player’s team suffered from the start of the match, being hit by an early conquest of the trans-Andean Germán Cano (4′). After this he managed to sustain his performance with good passages of football, but everything seemed to collapse when Renato Augusto (61′) doubled the advantage in the complement.

Faced with this, coach Gabriel Milito decided to refresh the lead replacing Hulk with Vargas (73′) and the Chilean did not take long to respond. Within seconds of entering he marked the discount after a long ball from Igor Gomes (73′) and then, he equalized the match with an effective header (79′).

The draw kept Atlético Mineiro undefeated in the Brasileirao while they occupy the third place in the standings with 9 points. Now, their next challenge will be to visit in the Copa Libertadores Rosario Central this Tuesday, May 7 at 6:00 p.m.
