Cano scoring a goal in a game and threatening Fred's record against Fluminense in the Libertadores.
Germán Cano scored again for Fluminense. And in double dose. On Wednesday (27), the Argentine scored both goals for Tricolor in the 2-2 draw with Internacional, at Maracanã, in the first game of the Libertadores 2023 semifinals. The striker isolated himself even more in the competition's artillery. What's more: he was just one away from becoming the club's top scorer in the history of the competition, alongside Fred. Cano was hired in 2022 and scored just three times in the last edition of the Libertadores, largely thanks to the team's early elimination. This season, 11 goals have been scored in the continent's main competition and the team continues to aim for the cup. In history, only Fred has scored more times with the tricolor shirt in the South American competition, with 15 goals. However, the former number 9 entered the field 29 times, while the current top scorer only played 14 matches – an average of one ball in the net per match. In fact, this could be the first time that a Fluminense player finishes the Libertadores at the top of the Artillery. Paulinho, from Atlético Mineiro, is the current top scorer, with seven goals. However, Rooster is already out of action. Of the athletes from the teams that are still fighting for the title, Artur, from Palmeiras, is the closest to Cano. However, the Palmeiras native has only scored five points so far – less than half of the Argentines. Fluminense's next match for the Libertadores is on October 4th, at Beira-Rio, in the return game of the semi-finals, against Inter. A simple victory will give Tricolor the big decision of the competition.
