Goals

How was the game?

Athletico-PR created the first chances, with Viveros and Dudu threatening Chapecoense's defense, but without success in the finishes. At 41 minutes of the first half, Furacão managed to open the score: after a dispute in the area, Viveros was fouled, the play was reviewed by VAR, and the referee awarded a penalty. Viveros himself took the penalty with precision, outsmarting goalkeeper Léo Vieira and putting Athletico ahead.

In the second half, Chapecoense responded quickly. At 2 minutes, in a corner kick play, João Paulo hit the post, the ball returned to Athletico's defense, and Eduardo Doma anticipated, deflecting it into the goal and tying the game. Five minutes later, at 7, Ítalo took advantage of a mistake in Furacão's defense and found Perotti, who did not waste the chance, turning the game around for Verdão.

Athletico's reaction didn't take long. At 12 minutes, Zapelli made a precise launch behind Chapecoense's defense, and Léo Derik, free, touched the ball to overcome the goalkeeper and tie the game again. The definitive turnaround came at 26 minutes: Viveros received the ball in the area, disputed with defender Bressan, got rid of the marking and finished with class, securing the 3-2 and sealing Athletico-PR's victory.
