RIO DE JANEIRO, June 6 (Xinhua) -- Four-time Brazilian top flight champions Fluminense missed a chance to move to the top of the Serie A standings on Tuesday with a 1-1 draw at home to Atletico Paranaense.

Pablo opened the scoring for the visitors at the Maracana stadium by firing in from close range before Reginaldo equalized with a header.

The result left Fluminense third in the 20-team standings with 10 points from five matches while Atletico Paranaense were left in 18th place with just two points.

Meanwhile Flamengo have opted against rushing back Argentine midfielder Conca for Wednesday's visit to Sport Recife.

Conca, who joined the club on a 12-month loan from Shanghai SIPG in January, has not played since suffering a serious knee injury last August.

The 34-year-old has returned to full training and is expected to make his debut for the Rio de Janeiro giants against Avai on Sunday, according to club officials.
