The last training session of Cruzeiro before the second leg of the Copa do Brasil semifinal had a special audience. Fans of the club showed up at Toca da Raposa 2 with flags, instruments, and chants to support the team.
And the players returned the affection. Midfielder Matheus Pereira signed autographs and Pedro Lourenço, owner of SAF, thanked the fans for their support.
Corinthians won the first leg of the Copa do Brasil semifinal 1-0 at Mineirão. Now, only a draw is needed for Timão to secure a spot in the tournament’s grand final.
Cruzeiro must win by one goal to force a penalty shootout or by two to go straight to the final of the national cup.
