Two games in Santa Catarina to decide Copa Sul-Sudeste finalists | OneFootball

The finalists of the South-Southeast Cup will be decided on Wednesday night (27), with two matches taking place in Santa Catarina. At 7 p.m., Chapecoense hosts Novorizontino at Arena Condá, in Chapecó (SC). At the same time, Avaí faces Volta Redonda at Ressacada, in Florianópolis (SC).

In the first leg, Chapecoense beat Novorizontino 2-0 at Jorge Ismael de Biasi. Meanwhile, at Raulino de Oliveira, Volta Redonda and Avaí drew 2-2.

The South-Southeast Cup is being held for the first time and is part of the restructuring of the national calendar. One of its goals is to give more opportunities to clubs that stand out in the state championships of the two regions and do not have a full schedule throughout the year.

In this edition, 12 clubs from Série A, B, C, and D of the Brazilian Championship are taking part: Chapecoense (A), América-MG (B), Avaí (B), Juventude (B), Novorizontino (B), Operário-PR (B), São Bernardo (B), Caxias (C), Volta Redonda (C), Cianorte (D), Sampaio Corrêa-RJ (D), and Tombense (D).
