Did not give to the . The village team even had chances during the game, but could not overcome the goalkeeper, who was the great hero of the night of Wednesday (22) and classified the Alagoas team for the round of 16 of the Brazilian Cup. It was in the penalty shootout that the result came. Neymar’s second pass at Santos remains unsuccessfully. He returned to the field on Thursday after injury, entered 21 minutes into the final stage, but failed to help the team, which lost to CRB on penalties, 5-4, after a goalless draw in normal time. The first duel, in Vila Belmiro, the teams drew 1-1. Santos started with the initiative and centralized their moves from the left with Souza. The side made two submissions, as well as a good cross in the first five minutes.
The santista pressure remained, but did not disturb goalkeeper Matheus Albino. The team from São Paulo had the possession of the ball, but could not finish. The CRB closed in its field expecting the opponent to decrease the rhythm. And that’s what happened. At 17 minutes, Matheus Ribeiro hit a strong kick, but Brazão made a beautiful save. Santos’s answer came in the next move. Barreal, free, kicked, but saw Matheus Albino make great save. The second half began with the expectation of Neymar’s presence on the field, but the CRB, just a minute, did not bother and Douglas Baggio almost opened the scoring. Santos looks like ‘stunned’ and only sees the opponent play the ball. At ten minutes, Gabriel Brazão emerged very well again, defending Meritão’s finishing. At 11, the goalkeeper of Santos makes good defense, this time in kick of Thiaguinho.
But from 21 minutes the Santos team gained more motivation with Neymar’s entry. In the first touch of the ball, the star found Thaciano, who forced Matheus Albino to make great save. The Alagoas goalkeeper made two more great defenses. After a period of ‘blackout’ when seeing Neymar’s entrance, CRB returned to the game, but continued unable to overcome Brazil. The game is open with the teams taking turns in the attack. At 40, Mikael, three steps from the goal, hit cinnamon and lost the best chance of the game. The pace of the game was frantic at the end, despite the insistent rain. At 42, it was Neymar’s turn to have a chance to goal, but Matheus Albino made a great save again. The CRB goalkeeper still made another beautiful defense in the last move of normal time.
The decision of the place in the round of 16 was decided on penalties and promised to be disputed because Brazão and Matheus Albino were the best on the field. By CRB, Meritão, Matheus Ribeiro, Segovia, Henri, Weverton scored. Brazão defended Fernando Henrique’s kick. At Santos, Neymar, Tomás Rincón, Tiquinho Soares, Gabriel Bontempo scored, but Guilherme kicked away and Matheus Albino defended the collection of Zé Ivaldo.
