How the match unfolded

Bragantino opened the scoring in the 17th minute of the first half with a superb goal. Juninho Capixaba played a through ball to Isidro Pitta, who controlled it and delicately chipped Rossi from outside the box. The home side’s second goal came in the 39th minute. Henry Mosquera laid it off at the edge of the area for Gabriel, who unleashed a rocket into the top-left corner to make it 2-0.

In the second half, just three minutes in, Pulgar challenged Sant’Anna and struck the Bragantino player with a punch. After a VAR review, the referee sent off the Chilean. Seven minutes later, Sant’Anna delivered a corner onto Lucas Barbosa’s head, and he rose highest to score another for Massa Bruta.
