How the Game Went

The first big opportunity of the game was for Juventude. Félix Torres lost the body challenge to Marcelo Hermes, who took the ball, entered the penalty area, and crossed low to the middle. Gabriel Taliari finished, but Angileri blocked the shot and saved what would have been a goal for Jaconero. After eight minutes, Corinthians responded with a cross from Hugo, but the defense of the team from Rio Grande do Sul cleared it before Kayke could finish.

At 18 minutes, Corinthians tried again. Talles Magno received the ball inside the area and shot, but Jandrei saved it. On the rebound, Romero hit it first time and sent it over the goal. It was at 22 minutes that Timão opened the scoring. Kayke made a great play, got past the defense, entered the penalty area, and passed it back. José Martínez arrived hitting it first time and scored a great goal at the Neo Química Arena.

Igor Formiga hesitated, and Talles Magno stole the ball, finding himself one-on-one with Jandrei, but seemed undecided between shooting or passing to Romero. The number 43 decided to shoot but mishit it and sent it wide. Juventude responded with a chance from Taliari, who shot wide.

At 14 minutes, Timão almost scored the second again. Matheuzinho passed to Kayke, who appeared on the right side and crossed for Angileri's header, which went over the crossbar. At 23 minutes, Memphis crossed, and Kayke finished in surprise, seeing the ball go near the post and out of play.

At 30 minutes, Juventude came close. Ewerthon appeared on the right side and crossed to Taliari, who headed over the crossbar. A minute later, Matheuzinho almost scored with a chip, but Juventude's defense cleared it off the line. On the rebound, Memphis shot, but was blocked by the defender.

It was at 42 minutes that Juventude equalized. Marcelo Hermes crossed into the area, and Negueba rose to head it, leveling the game at the Arena. In the final minutes, Timão hit the post, and on the rebound, Matheuzinho shot wide.
