With a goal from the newcomer Carlinhos 44 minutes into the second half, Vitória defeated Porto 2-1 on Saturday night (8), and sent the early classification in the competition. Earlier, Fabri had opened the scoring for Leão and Adriano Napão had left everything the same in the first half of the match, valid for the 7th round of the competition.>

The team reached 15 points and will now have to dry Barcelona from Ilhéus to confirm the early classification in this round. The rival will face Jacuipense on Wednesday (12), at 19:15, at Agnaldo Bento. Porto, parked in the eight points, is in 5th place.>
Now, Vitória changes its focus and thinks again about the Northeast Cup. The team of coach Thiago Carpini will receive the railway, in Barradão, on Tuesday (11), at 19h. The next challenge for the state will only be on Sunday (16), at 16h, against Jequié, also at home. Meanwhile, Porto returns to the field only on the 19th, a Wednesday, when he visits Jacuipense in the Joia da Princesa, in Feira de Santana.>
Coach Thiago Carpini kept Lucas Archangel on the bank, and Gabriel started at the goal. On the other hand, other important pieces returned to ownership after being spared in the Northeast Cup, cases of defender Wagner Leonardo, side Hugo and striker Fabri.
Vitória began the match controlling more, with greater presence in the attacking field. No wonder, the first arrival was from the red-black: still in the early minute, Mosquito launched to Osvaldo on the left. The shirt 11 crossed and Matheuzinho finished first, but goalkeeper Patyêgo defended.>
The lion’s offensive volume was awarded 11 minutes. Matheuzinho received on the right, pulled to the left -handed and crossed to Fabri to arrive and play to the bottom of the net. Goalkeeper Patyêgo even touched the ball, but did not avoid the goal: 1×0 for Vitória.>
The lion did not show the blow, and kept the pressure and control of the game. But it did not expand the marker thanks to great Patyêgo defenses. In one of them, at 21, Gustavo Mosquito kicked hard, prevented by the goalkeeper. Following, it was Fabri’s turn to be left over after Matheuzinho’s corner kick and finish, but Patyêgo saved the port from Nov.>
The goalkeeper came back well at 39, after Baralhas kicked hard from outside the area. Shortly thereafter, Claudinho came out in a big play, gave a pen in Mateus Pastel and kicked in a trivela – the ball, however, deflected in the defender and came out in a corner kick. There was still time for a new attempt by Fabri, this time head, but ended up hitting the left post of Patyêgo.>
Both teams returned from the break without change. As in the first half, the lion was on the attacking field while Porto tried to block the onslaught. The second red and black goal did not leave after 7 minutes, when Fabri won the dispute for the left and crossed looking for Matheuzinho, but the defense deflected and avoided the completion. Osvaldo also had a chance, out. At 15, it was Claudinho’s turn to appear in danger, in a left kick out.>
The chances didn’t stop there. At 20, Ronald received in the middle, pulled to the right and hit hard, sending the ball near the left post of Patyêgo. Eight minutes later, Sidney handed the ball for free to the area to Matheuzinho, which he sent to Fabri. The striker killed in his chest and tried the kick, which exploded in the marking. Following, Baralhas concluded, but the marking deflected to the corner.>
Wanting the positive result at home, coach Thiago Carpini made the team even more offensive at the end, replacing midfielder Ronald with Bruno Xavier. In his first moment in the match, the attacker caught a corner and kicked from outside the area, but Patyêgo spread. >
One of the rookies of the night, Lucas Braga also startled a header in the right corner of Patyêgo, but the goalkeeper made a beautiful defense. Thus, it was up to the other rookie, the center forward Carlinhos, to ensure the red-black victory. At 44, Matheuzinho made a beautiful move from the left, left the marker on the floor and crossed right to Carlinhos head. The ball still touched the crossbar before entering: 2×1 and red and black leadership isolated.>
