How the game went

Coritiba managed to take the lead 14 minutes into the match. From the defensive field, Tinga made a precise long pass for Pedro Rocha, who controlled the ball at the edge of the box, entered the area, and fired high with no chance for goalkeeper Vagner.

At the end of the first half, in the 47th minute, Bruno Melo received the ball on the left and crossed to the edge of the six-yard box, where Pedro Rocha rose unmarked and headed into the net for Coxa’s second goal.

In the 24th minute of the second half, Jacy handled the ball and, after a VAR review, a penalty was awarded to Operário. Former Internacional and São Paulo player Gabriel Boschillia stepped up and converted for Fantasma. Three minutes later, Gaúcho managed to score what seemed to be the equalizer, but the goal was disallowed as the ball had crossed the end line before the cross.

In the 31st minute, Doka delivered a corner and Cóser cleared it out of the box, where Gabriel Feliciano picked up the ball and fired a powerful shot across goal to level the match.
