full control

Even with passing errors, Corinthians completely dominated the three colors since the start of the confrontation. River-PI attempted to compress and force pass errors, but failed to produce.

The goal came in the 24th minute with Felipe Augusto. Giovanni created a beautiful light barrier after Mandaca’s pass and dismantled Galo’s entire defensive sector. The Corinthians striker received the ball positioned near the entrance to the area and waited for the goalkeeper to leave the net.

The feature on the scoreboard made Alfinegro more comfortable on the field. Even without forcing, Timão retained the offensive ball and goalkeeper Alan Gobetti almost became a spectator of the duel.

The balcony only needs a minute to register

Returning to the Under-20 side after going through the professional, striker Rodrigo Varanda entered the field in the 10th minute and did swing the net soon after. Felipe avoided a corner kick for Reginaldo and it was easy for the striker to correct in his thigh before scoring Corinthians’ second goal.

After that, the Corinthians took their foot off the accelerator once and for all. The confrontation was so warm in the final minutes that River-PI showed no strength to strive, at least, to minimize the label’s flaw. At the age of 39, Timão made four changes at once and promised young Pedro, Another 15-year-old player plays in KopinaHe has his chance. At the age of forty-five, Peruvian was still hitting the post in the last great match of the match.

Guilherme Biro is gaining space

Coach Diogo Seston changed the formation of the Parque club São Jorge midfield. Captain Riquelme, who scored a 2-1 win over Resende on his debut, removed Guilherme Biro, a diverse group of positions in the sector. The coach’s choice had an impact and Biro was the main hinge in the plays, especially in the first 45 minutes.

With that, Timão had on the field: Alan Gobetti; Leo Mana (Danilo Marcos), Alimao, Robert Renan and Reginaldo; Luis Mandaka (Vitor), Guilherme Perrault, Mateus Araujo (Arthur Souza) and Kevin Vinicius (Riquelme); Giovanni (Rodrigo Varanda) and Felipe Augusto (Pedro).

How is the group

And while Corinthians, with six points, have already confirmed the knockout stage of the tournament, there are still opportunities for the other three teams to advance. Vice-captain with three points, Resende only needs to beat River PI on Monday (10), at 17:45, to qualify. If they draw, he will not be out unless São Jose scores a goal against Alfinegro.

Piaui’s team has scored one point so far, and if they want to dream of the second stage, they have to win and still cheer against São Jose, who got the same score. However, the hosts need to advance to beat Timao, and hope for a Resende-River B tie or a victory for the Northeast club, and still take the difference in goal difference.
