Goals from São Paulo and Tigres
In the first minute of the game, Luiz Henrique passed to Newerton, who struck first, from outside the box, covering the Mexican goalkeeper and scoring a great goal to open the scoring.
Already in the 41st minute of the first half, Edu Brito advanced on the right and crossed low for Drummond. The number 9, only inside the small area, threw himself on the ball to push it to the end of the goal and widen it for San Paolo.
However, it took Tigres just three minutes to come back after half-time and equalized 33 minutes into the second half. Thus, he made the decision to go into overtime, consisting of two ten-minute halves.
In the fifth minute of the second extra time Enzo Boer is overwhelmed in the area and the referee signals a penalty. The Mexican goalkeeper also saved Mateus Manso’s shot, but as he had gone ahead, the referee ordered the shot to be retaken. This time Newerton didn’t waste and scored third, securing the Brazilian victory.
