Gabriel Silva / Ceará SC

Ceará defeated Internacional in the quarterfinals of the Brazilian Under-20 Série B Championship on the afternoon of Thursday the 18th, at Cidade Vozão, and advanced to the semifinals of the tournament. With the win, Mais Querido secured promotion to the Under-20 Série A ahead of schedule.

According to the regulations, three teams are promoted: the two finalists and the third-place team. Time do Povo secured promotion to the top tier of the Brazilian Championship thanks to its better overall campaign in the competition, which guarantees Vozão third place in the event of a semifinal defeat.

In the first phase, Vozão topped Group A with 19 points, earning six wins and one draw. Unbeaten, Glorioso got past Internacional in the quarterfinals and claimed its seventh win. So far, the team has scored 15 goals and conceded only four in the entire tournament.

Now, Alvinegro de Porangabuçu faces Atlético Mineiro in the semifinal in pursuit of the competition’s first-ever title. The clash will be played as a single match, with Vovô hosting the fixture. If they advance, Rogério Ferreira’s team will face the winner of Goiás vs. CRB.
