The goals of the match

Two minutes into the game, Vitória had a chance to open the scoring. After a long ball forward, Chape’s defense failed to clear properly and the ball fell to Renato Kayzer, who mishit his shot and sent it straight into goalkeeper Rafael Santos’ hands. In the eighth minute, Diego Tarzia tried his luck from outside the box, and Rafael Santos made the save.

Chape responded in the 22nd minute. Ênio broke into the box down the right and crossed toward the middle. Bolasie controlled it, cut inside, but shot over the bar. Then, in the 26th minute, Chape had the clearest chance of the first half. Bolasie got in behind and went one-on-one with Lucas Arcanjo, but made poor contact and sent it wide. In the 35th minute, Vitória answered with a shot by Ramon that was saved by Rafael Santos.

In the 38th minute, Vitória went down to 10 men. Edenilson slipped while marking and brought down Ítalo, who was running through alone toward the box, with a foul. The referee then showed the Leão full-back a red card.

Second half

In the 20th minute of the second half, Chapecoense nearly opened the scoring. Marcos Vinícius floated a ball to the far post and Walter Clar rose to head it, but the ball went just wide of the left post and out.

In the 28th minute, Vitória responded and came close to scoring. After a cross, Zé Vitor attempted a bicycle kick and the ball fell to Anderson Pato, who shot. The ball took a deflection and came back to Pato’s feet, and he struck it first time, blasting it over the crossbar.

In the 42nd minute of the second half, Chape finally broke the deadlock. Marcos Vinícius got down the right and crossed to the far post. Neto Pessoa, who had just come on, rose above Vitória’s defense and headed into the back of the net.

In the 45th minute, Vitória was awarded a penalty. David stepped on Matheuzinho’s foot right on the edge of the penalty area, and the referee pointed to the spot. The No. 10 took it himself and placed it into the left corner, making it all square again.
