Internacional suffered without Eduardo Coudet. Today (11), Abel Braga’s debut was far from what was expected and the team lost 1-0 to América-MG, in a first leg of the Copa do Brasil quarterfinal, in Beira-Rio. The goal of the match was scored by Rodolfo.
With that, Colorado needs to win by two or more goals in the second leg, next Wednesday, in Minas Gerais, to advance. If Inter win by one, take the decision to penalties. Coelho is still in competition with any draw or win.
On Saturday, Colorado faces Santos for the Brazilian. América-MG, on the same day, takes Cuiabá for Serie B.
It went well: Rodolfo is America-MG’s main weapon
In addition to scoring the first goal of the match, Rodolfo repeatedly threatened Inter’s defense. It was certainly the highlight of the match for much of the match.
It was bad: Lindoso makes a lot of mistakes
Inter suffered early in the game and to protect the defense. In both cases, Lindoso was present. The steering wheel was replaced in the second half.
Abel Braga debuts in his seventh pass
Abel Braga debuted on his seventh visit to Colorado. The coach arrived yesterday in Porto Alegre and has already been on the edge of the field in the quarter-final match. He chose not to touch the starting lineup, but had to change in the first half with Patrick’s injury. Peglow was the first to leave the bank with the new command. In the second half, back on the scoreboard, Abel piled up front players who were looking to be more offensive. The game ended, for example, with Marcos Guilherme as right back.
Lisca “Crazy” in goal
When celebrating Rodolfo’s América-MG goal, Lisca justified the nickname “Doido”. After the usual celebration, the coach knelt on the grass and threw two glasses of water on the ground. The liquid rose and wet the coach’s face.
Inter’s game: Seasonal vices and no new identity
Inter showed the same flaws throughout the season. Today’s game was no different. The team lacked depth in the first half, creation was stopped by the stance of América-MG and although they had much more possession of the ball, the Rio Grande do Sul team rarely threatened Matheus Cavichioli’s goal. In defense, the trajectory of the goal was also common. Half of the goals conceded in the season came from an aerial ball, so Rodolfo opened the scoring with his head. In the second half, with several exchanges, Inter pressed and, “no muffa”, created some chances.
The America-MG game: A firm and efficient team
America-MG was a firm and efficient team. In defense, Lista’s team was well positioned, did not give up spaces and suffered little risk. And when he recovered the ball, it showed its main characteristics: the rapid transition. In just a few touches, the miners reached Marcelo Lomba’s goal and always consistently. Either they completed their offers or they came close to it. They went ahead and still missed at least two chances in the first half. In the second, Lisca’s team abused the counterattack, was pressured, but held out well.
First interview of the year
Abel Braga gave the first pre-game interview of the season. Before the game, Eduardo Coudet never spoke. Between smiles, the commander spoke of the excitement of the return, lamented the lack of love for the new coronavirus pandemic and said that he “learned the name” of almost half of the squad since he met the players yesterday.
