When it was defined that São Paulo’s oldest classic would be one of Paulistinha’s semifinals, Corinthians was the favorite in the betting bag. Fundamentally for playing at home, even though Santos had already had more intertwined with the team and better physically.
After the fiasco in Guayquil, and the place to follow the Libertadores for a thread, the prognosis changed: at least the chances were divided, because Itaquera would hardly play for the team so unreliable.
Santos arrived ready, rested, less pressured and with Neymar certainly that opponents fear him more than he fears them, as made clear in an interview.
But he went to the bank, proof that Dorival Júnior rushed to summon him.
Relief to the faithful and more competitiveness for Santos, with less art.
When opening the scoring in the 11th minute in play of the trio Myg seemed that things would be quiet for the Corinthians.
Ledo deceit, because Tiquinho drawn 27 minutes later, in another fatal air ball in the rival area.
Hot second time, Garro made the 2-1 that classifies Corinthians to the final and gives hope of a miracle against Barcelona.
Shock
That Palmeiras is the favorite tonight to the sensible São Paulo is in agreement. And it’s not because the classic will be played on a Monday, although the fact is played in synthetic lawn favors.
If it is consistent with its preaching, Abel Ferreira will not climb Vitor Roque as a starter, because those who arrived yesterday cannot sit so quickly in the window.
In the second half will be another five hundred.
Cups forwarded
The Rooster fan has already ordered the tracks and celebrates the hexacal championship of Minas Gerais after beating America 4-0.
Atletico arrives at Hexa for the second time and repeats the feat reached in 1983, which the rival Cruzeiro never achieved, when limited to a five -time championship, with the timacum of tytection and Dirceu Lopes in 1969.
It will be the 50th Atleticano state title, to crown its third penta.
Imagine the frustration of the American fan this week that precedes the return game at your home.
It will be better to give up the command and let the party be again in Mineirão, without illusion that it can reverse the picture and without silly pride to surrender to the most profitable.
Inter is also very close to breaking the series of seven consecutive Grêmio titles after defeating him at his house, winning 2-0 against 51,000 fans and under 37th degrees in Summer Porto Alegre.
COLORADO can now lose by a goal of difference in Beira-Rio, and yet avoid the arrival of the rival in the octal championship, red primacy in 1976, with the kick of Figueroa and Falcon.
In Rio nothing is decided.
Although Flamengo is a favorite, Fluminense seems on the rise and has been surprised by the opponent lately.
If Bruno Henrique, after being injured in a 2-1 win over Vasco, stay out of the classics, the first on Wednesday (12), the second weekend, the red-black advantage of playing for two equal results can go downhill.
Anyway, the best of all, with the end of the state, is that they come to an end and the Brazilian Championship is in the door.
