America wins Ava, but goal in the incorporations of the Serie B title Chape



[ad_1]

THE America He came very close to being Srie B champion for the third time by beating Ava 2-1, this Friday, at Independência, for the 38th round. I know the party was Chapecoense thanks to a penalty goal 50 minutes into the second half against Confiana, at Arena Cond, in Chapec. The 3 to 1 victory guaranteed the title to Santa Catarina, who added the same 73 points of the miners, but with an advantage in goal difference: 21 to 20.
In Belo Horizonte, Coelho opened 2-0 in the first half, with forwards Rodolfo and Ademir. In the final stage, he created chances to do the third, but ran into Gledson and poor marksmanship. At 16min, Leo dropped to 2 to 1, on a header from Getlio, slightly ahead of the penultimate US defender.

When referee Flvio Rodrigues de Souza finished the match at Independência, the ball was still rolling at Arena Cond. Still on the field, the athletes of America began to see the last moments of the Chapecoense match on a television monitor. The tension gave way to frustration when Anselmo Ramón hit the maximum penalty and scored the title goal.

Despite the disappointment in the runner-up, Coelho has more to celebrate than regret, as he assured the Brazilian’s return to the first division quite properly and, by the way, made history by reaching the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil – eliminated by Palmeiras after a 1-1 draw in So Paulo and 2-0 revolutions in Belo Horizonte.

Lisca’s team finished the second division with 20 wins, 13 draws and 5 losses, the same performance as the champion group in 2017 under Enderson Moreira. 43 goals were scored and 23 conceded. Juventude and Cuiab, both with 61 points, also rose to the elite of Brazilian soccer.

Now, the squad rests for a few days for the 2021 season, which will start on February 28 (Sunday), at 4:00 p.m., against Boa Esporte, in Independência, for the first day of the Mineiro Championship.
