It was not good at all for Juventude and Cruzeiro.

But the rivals of both approved what happened at Alfredo Jaconi. 

In a SIX-goal game on the afternoon of this Thursday (20th), the team from Serra Gaúcha and the Raposa drew 3 x 3.

Papo took a big lead, with Taliari making the difference, but saw the team from Minas react with the brilliance of Kaio Jorge. 

The match was valid for the 34th round of the Brasileirão.

Great goal with 'Law of the Ex'

Juventude took the lead with Marcelo Hermes.

He had already scored a beautiful goal in the last round. And he did it again.

He looked at the area and lobbed Cássio, punishing the club he played for in 2018.

The second came with Taliari, at 16. Leaving Cássio behind after being set up by Caíque. 

Cruzeiro tried hard. Gabigol had already posed a threat. 

And Kaio Jorge slipped in a possible great chance. 

The celestial goal came with Sinisterra after a free-kick (42').

Reaction, Taliari decisive and KJ19

Kaio Jorge isolated himself as the top scorer of the Brasileirão after completing a pass from Kaiki (53').

But the hosts' reaction was not delayed. Taliari punished a Raposa full of defensive errors without the ball (58').

Carpini reinforced the marking power.

And Leonardo Jardim ensured more speed and strength to attack.

The final stretch belonged to the Raposa.

And the persistence secured another goal for Kaio Jorge, who equalized once again (84').

There was still time for Jandrei to prevent a certain goal from Gabigol. 

Gabigol also missed a chance with a header later.
