How was the match?

Guarani created the first big chance of the match at 21 minutes into the first half, when Guilherme Parede hit the crossbar. Shortly after, at 28 minutes, Portuguesa was left with one player less. Gustavo Henrique, from Lusa, was sent off after a foul on Mirandinha. Initially, the referee gave a yellow card, but changed it to red after VAR review.

With a numerical advantage, Guarani began to press the home team even more. In the second half, just seven minutes in, Cicinho crossed from the right and Nathan Melo finished, forcing a good save from goalkeeper Bertinato. One minute later, after a corner kick, Isaque sent the ball into the box and Jonathan Costa dove in with a header to open the scoring for the visitors.

Portuguesa still tried to react. At 31 minutes, Dênis crossed into the box and Gabriel Pires headed dangerously, but goalkeeper Caíque França made a great save. At the end of the half, Lusa kept up the pressure and created two good chances. One was with Dênis, who shot from outside the box, and the other with Igor Torres, but the number 13 sent it wide.
