the game

In a balanced first leg of decision, the best chances were red and black. In a return duel “preceded by tension, with multiple attempts at conquest by fans without tickets, with an explosion of tear gas”, the home team’s fist paid off in front of a packed Maracana.

Vítor Pereira chose a scheme with three defenders, so that there was always someone open on each side, in order to exploit the game-changers. Dorival Jr responded by dropping Arascaeta to the left behind Wagner, and so the goal came. In seven minutes, Uruguay dominated the match and played for Everton Ribeiro, who left Pedro in Cassio’s face.

After a few moments of bewilderment, Corinthians began implementing his strategy of rolling the ball, staying with it more and growing. But the visiting team was exposed and came close to finishing second in a few moments. In one of them, at the age of thirty-three, the only reason he did not find himself in a more favorable position was a slight handicap by Gabriel Barbosa.
