How the match went

Fortaleza controlled the attacking play in the first half. As early as the fourth minute, goalkeeper Jandrei came out badly and Luiz Fernando found the net, but the goal was disallowed because Pochettino had encroached into the box. Alisson Safira committed a penalty on Luiz Fernando and, in the 18th minute, Mailton opened the scoring for Lion.

In the 37th minute, Lucas Gazal pounced on Jandrei's rebound to extend the lead, but offside was called. In the 46th minute, Ryan took advantage of Liam Martins' poor back pass to break into the box, cut past defender Messias, and score another for Tricolor de Aço.

Juventude came back for the second half focused on leveling the match. Just five minutes in, Alan Kardec powered home a header to pull one back. The comeback attempt, however, ended there.
