Match Recap

With both teams set up in the 4-5-1 tactical scheme, the match began balanced and with a setback for the home team, who lost Renzo López injured just 30 minutes in, making way for Lucca. The crucial moment of the afternoon occurred right at the start of the second half, thanks to a precise change by the visitors: Eduardo Person entered at halftime and, six minutes in, provided the assist for Matías Segovia to finish with precision into the net. Vozão responded by making changes and pushing the lines forward with Lenny Lobato, Matheus Araújo, and Lucas Mugni, but ran into the solid defensive posture of Coelho until the final whistle.

The great protagonist of the match was goalkeeper Bruno Brígido, who received a rating of 8.7 after making six saves and leading the visiting team's defensive system alongside Emerson Santos, author of 12 interceptions.
