How was the match?

First half

The main chance of the first half came at the 31st minute. Alan Rodríguez received the ball on the left and crossed perfectly to Borré. The striker controlled with his back to goal and laid it off to Bruno Gomes, who shot powerfully with his right foot. The ball, however, crashed against the crossbar, frustrating Colorado’s best opportunity.

Second half

Internacional needed just four minutes after the break to open the scoring. After a scramble in the box, the ball fell to Mercado, who headed towards goal. Cleiton tried to save, but ended up pushing the ball into his own net.

The lead increased at the 32nd minute. From the penalty spot, Alan Patrick sent goalkeeper Cleiton the wrong way and found the back of the net.

Shortly after, at the 35th, Carbonero broke down the left, beat the defense for pace, and finished firmly inside the box to score Colorado’s third goal.

Bragantino still managed to pull one back with Jhon Jhon. The midfielder struck first-time from the edge of the box and found the top left corner of Rochet’s goal, scoring a beautiful goal.
