At Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Mamelodi clearly played for the win, registering three shots on target compared to none from Fluminense, but failed to score the precious goal that would have taken them through.
The best opportunity came in the 8th minute when Tashreeq Matthews found himself unmarked in front of goal and fired a shot on the move. Fábio produced one of the best saves of his career to prevent the ball from finding the net.
In the 57th minute, Germán Cano struck the crossbar for Fluminense, and with that, the main highlights of the match came to an end.
