Game full of emotions
The teams experienced an initial phase full of emotions. José Aldo managed to give the Sao Paulo team the lead after just five minutes. He was fed by Gabriel Falcão in the box and opened the scoring for OBA. The equalizer came in the 17th minute, when Júnior Todinho found Alesson, who went into the corner, with no chance for Jefferson Paulino.
Goiás’ team took advantage of a defensive error by Ituano to turn the match around. In the 33rd minute Luciano Naninho takes a ball advanced by Alesson and pushes it towards goal without scoring. The San Paolo team reacts in the 36th minute, when Leozinho scores a great goal. The first half got off to a great start in Goiânia.
In the second phase, Vila Nova concentrated on regaining the lead in the standings. In the 10th minute, Jemmes took advantage of a rebound from Jefferson Paulino, overcame the Ituano defense and scored Goiás’ third goal.
The match was characterized by strong emotions, with Ituano creating scoring opportunities and Vila Nova defending efficiently. In the 27th minute Neto Berola receives the ball in the area and plays to equalize, but the assistant marks the offside, confirmed by the referee. Salatiel takes advantage of José Aldo’s cross and finishes from Dénis Júnior’s corner, saving the emotion until the end.
In the 46th minute, Marcelo Mineiro received the ball in the small area and scored Ituano’s fourth goal, if no offside was noticed in the game. The marking of the pitch was confirmed after VAR analysis. The Sao Paulo team achieved victory when the lights went out. In the 54th minute, after a cross into the area, Vinícius Paiva appears free, hits a header and takes advantage of Dénis Júnior’s error to close the game.
Ituano depends on pairings to stay in Serie B
Ituano depends on the following combinations: if CRB stumbles against Santos tomorrow, Ituano will still have a chance to escape; in the last round, the Alagoas team will fail to score against Operário, while Ponte Preta faces Avaí, and even the monkey must stumble. Ituano will face Amazonas in Itu, on the 24th, at 6.30 pm.
