For the second time in its history, Ceará qualifies for the Copa Sudamericana. The team led by Guto Ferreira beat Coritiba 2-0 (20) today, rose to 49 points and was guaranteed in the continental competition, which they had not played since 2011.
The goals of the match, valid for the 37th day of Brasileirão, came during the second half, after a very weak first stage in Ceará, and were from Felipe Vizeu and Saulo Mineiro.
Coritiba, who only meets the table in this final leg of the Championship, remains in second place with 31 points, while Vozão has temporarily risen to tenth place. On the last day, Vozão faces the last classified Botafogo, while Coxa, who now has 34 points, will close the Brasileirão with the duel against Atlético-GO.
Vizeu: well done
The number 11 from Ceará returned with everything in the second half, after an erased initial stage, as well as the entire Vozão team. Six minutes into the second stage, Felipe Vizeu willingly kicked to open the scoring. Soon after, he created two more opportunities, giving goalkeeper Arthur a lot of work.
Henrique Vermudt: got into trouble
Defender Henrique Vermudt came in shortly after the break in place of Sabino, but was unlucky that it was at that moment that Ceará began to react. He was nostalgic when Vizeu took him out of the game to open the scoring.
Voice in South America
The only time Ceará played in the Copa Sudamericana was in 2011, but it didn’t get a chance to go far in the competition. Immediately, the Ceará team faced São Paulo. He even won the first game 2 x 1, but ended up defeated in the second game, at Morumbi, 3 x 0.
In its 106-year history, Ceará has also participated in the former Conmebol Cup, in 1995. The script was similar to that of 2011: eliminated in the first phase by a team from São Paulo. At that time the opponent was Corinthians. After two draws, 1 x 1 and 2 x 2, Corinthians’ classification was decided by penalties.
Goal (offside) with less than a minute
With only 55 seconds to play, Coritiba shook Couto Pereira’s nets. Goal scorer Matheus Oliveira was in an offside position when he caught the ball left in the area and shot into goalkeeper Richard’s corner. The signaling of the irregular position was made by the flag and confirmed, with some delay, by the VAR.
Neilton gets a great score, but it wasn’t worth it
After putting a lot of pressure on the Ceará defense, in the 35th minute, Coritiba reached the goal again with a beautiful shot from Neilton, who had to dribble against referee Marcelo de Lima Henrique before shooting from outside the area and putting in angle. However, the VAR noticed that the ball had left the field at the beginning of the play and again thwarted Coxa’s goal.
Vizeu commands the reaction of Ceará
After a very warm first part, Ceará returned to the complementary stage renewed and ready to look for the result. Proof of this is that with just six minutes Felipe Vizeu managed to open the scoring. He took Henrique Vermudt, who had just entered, out of the play and put his foot in to score the goal for Vozão.
Enter Sai Vizeu, Saulo Mineiro
At 20 minutes into the second half, Guto Ferreira promoted Saulo Mineiro to Felipe Vizeu. It did not take long to show that it would replace the jersey 11 in height. He received a high heel pass, defined by Ceará himself as “mischievous”, from Pedro Naressi and kicked hard, also without chances for goalkeeper Arthur.
