Raposa had a lot of difficulties to add the three points this Wednesday, as he found a very closed Democrat, who did not offer many spaces. Over time, opportunities even arose, but the aim of Cruzeiro’s attackers was not calibrated.

Thus, the score remained unchanged until the 53rd minute of the second half, when Eduardo Brock crossed for forward Edu to head to overcome goalkeeper Lucão.

UHHH TERROR, EDU IS A KILLER!
