In the first Atletiba do Brasileirão 2020, the Athletic won and won the Coritiba 1-0, this Saturday afternoon (12), at the Arena da Baixada, for the tenth round. Fabinho’s lone goal sent Furacão jumping on the table and leaving Coxa in the relegation zone.
With the result, Hurricane ended a seven-game fast without winning and reached 10th place, now with 11 points; the team may lose positions in the course of the round. Coxa continues to sour the relegation zone. Jorginho’s team is only 18th, with eight points.
Atlético’s next challenge will be for the Libertadores. On Tuesday (15), at 7:15 pm, the team faces Jorge Wilstermann at the Félix Capriles stadium, in Bolivia. Coritiba, on the other hand, plays for Brasileirão against Vasco, on Sunday (20), at 4pm, in Couto Pereira.
Atlético and Coritiba had last met in Serie A in 2017: victory in the second leg (1 to 0) and a draw in the second leg (1 to 1). Since then, Coxa has been in Serie B. Atlético has already experienced its best period, with titles in the Sudamericana, Copa Levain and Copa do Brasil. In this afternoon’s classic, both had the same goal: to get out of the relegation zone.
Coritiba struggled even before the opening whistle. Matheus Sales, who would be starting out, felt a sprained ankle and was banned while still warming up. Matheus Galdezani won the vacancy. On the pitch, Atlético started with their traditional possession of the ball. There were few clear chances built in the first half.
On the best and rare danger pitch, Hurricane opened the scoring. At 11 minutes, Jonathan scored with Fabinho. The ball deflected into William Matheus and went to shirt 7 to open the scoring with a kick from inside the area, 1 to 0. Coxa responded with dead balls and a Matheus Bueno bomb from outside the area, which Santos saved.
In the final stage the balance prevailed. Robson sent a long shot from afar, which hit the crossbar before exiting. Atlético responded with a corner kick taken directly by Abner, but goalkeeper Wilson avoided the Olympic goal.
In addition to the deficit on the scoreboard, Coxa also lost Igor Jesús. The 19 jersey left its elbow on the head of Thiago Heleno and received a second yellow card. With one more, Huracán controlled the game and alleviated the crisis before the return of the Libertadores.
