After the game in São Paulo, Timão took 3rd position with 43 points, the same score as Colorado, which ranked 4th.
Even with the support of more than 41 thousand fans, Corinthians saw Internacional open the scoring with less than 1 minute of ball rolling, when Alemão received inside the area, cut defender Gil and hit Cássio’s exit.
But Timão showed strength and turned the score around before the break. The tie came in the 12th minute, when, after a corner kick, Gil propped himself up in the middle of the area, where Balbuena took the opportunity to overcome Daniel. Four minutes later, the home team reached the second, when Róger Guedes kicked, goalkeeper Daniel partially defended and Yuri Alberto did not forgive.
The match remained open, with the teams creating opportunities side by side. Until, in the 21st minute of the final stage, Alan Patrick, who entered the break, hit a beautiful kick from the edge of the area to give final numbers to the marker.
