The Grecians went with a youthful eleven to take on Fluminense’s Under-19 side in an historic match to celebrate 101 years since the Grecians travelled to Brazil for the Selecão national side’s first match.

Alex Byrne and Jason Pope were both selected for City ahead of their impending loan moves to Weston-super-Mare, and Pope would almost hand the Grecians an early lead. He won possession just outside of the Fluminense penalty area before stinging the fingers of...
