Exeter City are taking part in an historic match in Brazil - 100 years after they became the first team to take on the Brazilian national side. Grecian fans who made the trip to South America were pictured at Rio's iconic Stade de Llanjeiras ahead of the historic game in Brazil. And the teams lined up to the national anthems ahead of the game. The Grecians take on Fluminense tonight after 18 players from the City squad travelled to Rio de Janeiro on Thursday. The game will commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Brazil national side's first fixture – against a touring Exeter City side. City lost that match 2-0 thanks to goals from Oswaldo Gomes and Osman Medeiros and will be underdogs again this weekend with Fluminense plying their trade in the top division of Brazilian football. Exeter City's second match of the tour will be against Brazilian Serie C side Tupi on Wednesday, July 23. The match in Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais, kicks off at 7.30pm local time (11.30pm BST).
