Sport surprised Internacional and won at the Beira-Rio stadium. The 2-1 win not only gives the Pernambuco club breath in the fight against relegation, but also makes the Brazilian Championship title contest even more fiery. Now, with three games to go, Colorado’s lead over Flamengo is just one point (66-65). Atlético-MG, third classified, still faces Fluminense (10) today and can reach 63 points.
All the goals of the match came in the first half, when the visitors already had one more man on the pitch after the expulsion of side Uendel. Marcão opened the scoring for Sport, Patrick leveled four minutes later and, in extra time, Dalberto made it 2-1.
Dalberto’s goal, in fact, was a separate chapter. Patric’s cross down the right went high and the Colorado defense stopped believing the ball was gone. The winger Júnior Tavares, ex São Paulo, believed in the play, recovered and assisted the Sport forward. Goalkeeper Marcelo Lomba and the defenders were frozen.
Sport won the fourth away game in the championship, the second in a row. The funny thing is that the first win outside Recife was also in Porto Alegre. In September, the team beat Grêmio in the match that caused the union leader to end Thiago Neves, now a red and black player.
Jair Ventura’s team reaches 41 points, in 14th place, and opens a good distance, of four points, in relation to Vasco, the 17th classified, who heads the relegation zone.
Who did it well: Marcão
Attentive in marking, tireless in midfield and intelligent in attack. Sport’s shirt 77 opened the scoring of the match in a counterattack play, with an early shot and surprise for Lomba.
Who was wrong: Uendel
Inter’s left-back missed the ball in an aerial dispute with Marquinhos and then threw the Sport player away. He was sent off and changed the game in Porto Alegre.
Festival of letters for the two reserve banks
Jair Ventura got a yellow card for celebrating the first goal of the match in Inter’s technical area. The same episode made Zé Gabriel, defender of the Rio Grande do Sul club, turn red. And Jorney Anísio, red and black goalkeeping coach, was also expelled. In the second half, Leandro Fernández received a yellow card and while hanging up, he is out of Colorado’s next game, against Vasco, on Sunday, in Rio de Janeiro.
The whole game had a tense atmosphere off the field, with a lot of talk and provocation between the parties. The Colorado leaders, in the stands with the number of tickets provided by CBF protocol, shouted a lot at many moments of the game.
Inter performance
The initial pressure gave volume, but few possibilities to Inter. If it was difficult to face a very closed sport with a full team, the scenario worsened with the expulsion of Uendel. Abel Braga’s team showed signs of stress at various times. Offensively the exit was to cross by area.
Sports performance
The five-player line in front of the goalkeeper was not an isolated act. Sport set a trap to face Inter and throughout the match, he was extremely focused on putting strategy to good use. The goals took advantage of the likely pressure for the home team to dominate and win, but they had a lot of merit in decision making.
