Cearense: Fortaleza x Ceará

Fortaleza is two times champion of Ceará with Rogério Ceni. Tonight (21), at Arena Castelão, the team beat Ceará again, this time 1-0, and won the state championship over the great rival. Tinga, in the final stage, scored the goal that guaranteed the title to Tricolor, who had already won the trip 2-1.

This is Ceni’s fourth title held by the Ceará team. The trophy enters the coach’s shelf for Leão along with the Serie B of the Brazilian Championship (2018), the Copa do Nordeste (2019) and Cearense himself, won last year.

It should be noted that Ceni also brings the Florida Cup 2017, a preseason tournament in which he was victorious in front of São Paulo.

Ceará, who needs to reverse the disadvantage of the first final, even tried, but had no luck. He stopped at the post twice in the first half and saw the situation get complicated after Tinga’s goal, in the 15th minute of the second half. To make matters worse, Leandro Carvalho was expelled at 36 for a complaint, and Vozão did not have the strength to react.

This is Fortaleza’s 43rd title in the Ceará Championship. Ceará is the biggest winner, with 45 cups.

Ceará tightens, Fortaleza holds

Needing the result, Ceará beat Fortaleza in the first stage. First, Vina received a pass from Rafael Sobis in the area, submitted, but hit the post. Shortly after, Sobis dominated a cross from the left, adjusted and sealed Felipe Alves’ goal again.

Vozão’s offensives continued at the beginning of the final stage. Several centers from the left, mainly after plays constructed by Léo Chú, passed the goalkeeper of Leão and the defender, who managed to maintain the rival momentum.
