Despite saving important holders against Youth, in Mineirão Azul, with 52,000 fans, Cruzeiro went over the gauchos even without a good first time, when he abused the air game and took a long time to open the scoring.
In the second, on the contrary, the team left and quickly resolved the game: it made 3-0 even before the 20th minute, to complete, as a defeat, the 4-0 in the additions.
On Wednesday (23) the leader will face, as a favorite and great attraction, in Itaquera, the traumatized Corinthians.
It is not yet the cruise of Tostão and Dirceu Lopes from the 1960s, or Alex and Zinho from 2003, but this one from Matheus Pereira and Kaio Jorge has the air of those who want to make history.
Happy Morumbi
Were it not for a new Oscar injury, another glass ace that reminds Renato Augusto, a great player, but fragile physically and with a very slow recovery time, the tricolor night in the majestic would have been almost perfect.
Almost because the team was able to score the rival, but only Luciano wanted. The other players would even like and did not score because they have a hard calendar ahead. Saving energies is mandatory.

The earth, like the ball, is round.
Crisis in the park
Losing to Sao Paulo in Morumbi became so common in Corinthian life that the fifth loss followed there should not even shake São Jorge Park.
But when Corinthians loses done cattle going to the cut and commanded by a millionaire leader and lazy things get bad.
If he needed a proof that Memphis Depay only thinks of his own belly button, his uncompromising tour on Saturday (19) at night was enough.
Not even returning to the second half the Dutch orange has returned – and will always argue that if those who hired him do not pay the agreed, he owes nothing to anyone.
The difference in the team’s attitude in the second half was clear, with each player, at least, able to give everything he had despite the obvious limits of the majority.
