The “Felipão effect” almost worked and the Cruzeiro showed some improvement, especially in the second half, but that was not enough for Raposa to win again in Serie B of the Brazilian Championship. Tonight (16), in Mineirão, the blue team only drew 0-0 with Juventude, in round 16, and did not manage to leave the zone and relegation.
Cruzeiro even had good chances to open the scoring, but he was stopped in the hands of goalkeeper Marcelo Carné, the country’s savior on the Juventude side. On the blue side, Fábio saved another penalty and prevented the rival from taking more points from the leading team of the Giant of Pampulha.
Cruzeiro’s next game will be on Tuesday (20), at 9:30 p.m., in Ponta Grossa, Paraná. Juventude receives Avaí at the Alfredo Jaconi stadium, in Caxias do Sul, the same day, but at 7.15 pm.
The best: Fábio e Carné
The Cruzeiro goalkeeper was important again. In fact, Fábio was crucial to defend Renato Cajá’s penalty early in the match. This play prevented Cruzeiro from starting the game at a disadvantage.
On the Juventude side, Marcelo Carné performed miracles with at least two miraculous defenses, preventing Cruzeiro’s goal.
The worst: Renato Cajá
The experienced youth midfielder “fell into the hands” of goalkeeper Fabio and lost his best chance to secure three points for his team in an away game.
Difficulty creating and finishing
Cruzeiro once again demonstrated a chronic problem: difficulty in overcoming the opponent’s defensive lines. The team, even after spending a week in Atibaia to improve fundamentals, continues to suffer from a lack of quality in playmaking. And when he managed to arrive in danger, he sinned in the submissions or was stopped at the hands of the Juventude goalkeeper.
Despite this, the second part of Raposa was more consistent, with pressure on the rival and many chances created. The Juventude goalkeeper was that it was an inspired night.
Game timeline
Six minutes into the game, the ball hit Rafael Luiz’s hand inside Cruzeiro’s area. The judge scored a penalty, which Renato Caja hit, but Fábio saved.
At 22 minutes into the second half, Cruzeiro had a good chance. Striker Marcelo Moreno, who had just entered, went straight to the area and, on a corner kick, climbed high and headed, forcing the Juventude goalkeeper to perform a miracle.
In the second half, at eight minutes, Eltinho saved a ball that had the right direction, after a pressured kick from Régis, which appeared in good condition inside the area.
In the 14th minute Régis almost scored a great goal. The Cruzeiro midfielder gave defender Augusto a hat inside the area and finished first, but the ball went up passing over Carné’s goal.
At 27 minutes it was Ramón’s turn to almost head in an aerial shot in the Youth area. Again, goalkeeper Marcelo Carné prevented the goal in a spectacular play.
