RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Former Paris St Germain winger Nene scored a brace from the penalty spot as Fluminense defeated Internacional 2-1 on Sunday, the Rio de Janeiro side's first league victory of the season in a VAR-influenced match at the Maracana stadium.

Internacional, who missed the chance to go top of the table, went ahead in the 27th minute with a volley from Paolo Guerrero. The Peruvian striker is now the league's top scorer, with three goals in three games.
