Gabriel Silva / Ceará SC

With goals from Gabriel Macedo and Kayck Pará, Ceará defeated Sport 2-0 on the morning of last Sunday, the 31st, in the round of 16 of the U-15 Copa do Brasil. By beating the Pernambuco side at Cidade Vozão, Alvinegro secured a place in the quarterfinals of the competition.

Mais Querido’s U-15 head coach, speaking to cearasc.com, talked about the match, highlighting the result and the achievement of reaching the quarterfinals. In the competition, Time do Povo has a 100% record, with four wins, 20 goals scored, and none conceded.

“Maybe it wasn’t one of our best games technically, but this group has heart, this group has soul, and that’s what we live day to day playing football. When we have to suffer, we’ll know how to suffer in an organized way, in a way we work on every day. We have to congratulate the players, congratulate the club’s management, congratulate my staff, because we achieve nothing alone. On to Granja,” said Rafael Nascimento.

Starting from the quarterfinals, the U-15 Copa do Brasil matches will take place at Granja Comary, the Brazilian national team’s training center, in Teresópolis. In his remarks, Rafael Nascimento also praised the stature of Ceará Sporting Club after securing qualification.

“Glory to God for the health and for the opportunity to wake up every day and do what we love, which is work with football. It was a great game. Those of us who are here have to understand that Ceará is very big. Ceará is a giant institution,” concluded Vovô’s coach.
