International misses the goals scored

In the final phase, São Luiz (with two substitutions) came alive in the first five minutes. However, guard Anthony, alert, rejected the danger. After feeling afraid, Inter woke up again. However, one person who was not so good at kicking was Alan Patrick. At ten, the team's star can give it to Mauricio, who will enter with the ball and everything. But he kicked and lost. At the age of 13, he received the ball from Enber Valencia and shot it. Defender Ricardo Thalheimer made a save on the goal line. At the age of 19, it was São Luiz who missed the goal. Bustos committed a foul, Moerbeck kicked the ball and Robert Renan saved the ball off the goal line.

Another one for the fan party

But it was Inter who missed the opportunities. A few minutes after Alario entered Ener Valencia's place, he fired a cross into goalkeeper Luiz Felipe's right post. I entered this nation. But on 41 the goal came. Luca (the last finalist) ran from the middle towards the area. Ricardo Thalheimer cut in but the ball hit one of his Sao Luiz teammates and went to Mauricio. It was just a matter of beating the goalkeeper and closing the score.
