📹 Athletico-PR knock out São Paulo on penalties, progress in Copa do Brasil
At Ligga Arena, Athletico-PR knocked São Paulo out of the Copa do Brasil with a 3-0 win on penalties, after a 1-0 result in regular time. The match was extremely tense. It all started with the sending off of goalkeeper Rafael after just three minutes, leaving Tricolor Paulista one man down on the field. In this scenario, while Furacão wanted to play to try to overturn the opponent's advantage, São Paulo tried to "stop" every play and also pressured for a red card for a rival, especially the forward Viveros. To top it off, referee Felipe Fernandes de Lima (MG) "did the favor" of exaggerating in his lack of criteria, especially in his foul and yellow card decisions. Players from both teams even went to the locker room complaining about the refereeing. After halftime, Athletico-PR came back more offensive and pinned São Paulo back in their own half. The saving goal came in the 23rd minute, when Mendoza kept the ball from going out over the end line after a cross into the box, and rolled it back, where Esquivel fired a powerful shot across goal to open the scoring. ⚽ Penalties São Paulo: Sabino, Gonzalo Tapia and Jandrei missed Athletico-PR: Giuliano, Esquivel, Mendoza scored🚦 What's next With the qualification, Athletico-PR now waits for the CBF draw to find out their opponent in the quarterfinals. Tricolor Paulista returns to the field next Saturday (9th), when they host Vitória at MorumBIS, for the last round of the first half of the Brasileirão. Furacão, meanwhile, visits Criciúma at Heriberto Hülse on Monday (11th), for the 21st round of Série B. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
