Best: Léo Cittadini
In an uninspired game, Cittadini was one of the most dangerous players on the field. He fought in midfield, created chances and scored the Atlético draw.
The worst: Willian Maranhão
The Atlético-GO defensive midfielder was sent off after removing Carlos Eduardo with an unnecessary slap. He left the Dragon with one less early in the game and compromised his team’s performance.
The first semester is truncated and with VAR interventions
The game in the first stage was not very creative and there was a lot of fighting on the field. With both teams’ turnover in midfield, hard plays, and uninspired midfielders, the game had little chance of scoring. In the 18th minute, Carlos Eduardo and William Maranhão fought for the ball and, in the sequence, the Dragon’s wheel hit the attacker in the face. The referee saw and expelled Maranhão on the spot.
Then the VAR went into action twice. First, in a confusion within the Atlético-GO area where the referee scored a penalty. The video identified an offside at the start of the play, canceling the penalty spot. Then, another break with Carlos Eduardo, this time with Éder. The judge immediately expelled the Atlético defender but, after consulting the video, he withdrew and only gave yellow.
With one less, Atlético-GO goes to rest with an advantage
Despite the few occasions in the first stage, Dragão organized after the expulsion of William Maranhão and managed to play competitively. Betting on speed on the sides of the field, Atlético-GO opened the scoring in the 45th minute. João Pedro crossed and found Zé Roberto in the area, who finished for the chest goal, scoring a beautiful goal.
With one more and at a disadvantage on the scoreboard, Atlético returns better
Atlético coach Eduardo Barros made changes at halftime and put the team more on the attack. In numerical advantage, Huracán controlled the first minutes of the complementary stage and played in the rival defense field, rotating the ball and looking for spaces. The entry of Nikão was a key point of improvement in the game of the Paraná team, which became even more offensive. From his feet came the Hurricane’s equalizer. The striker received Léo Cittadini at the entrance of the area, turned and found Léo Cittadini on the penalty spot, who only finished for the goal and tied the game. Atlético even tried to turn around, but failed to score another goal.
