With this result, Tricolor occupies the vice-leadership of Group 14 of the competition with the same three points as the leader Imperatriz, who debuted with a 3-0 victory over Taubaté. The triumph of the Laranjeiras team was only guaranteed in the match’s stoppage time, when Isaac received the ball in the middle and backheeled for Agner to hit first to score a beautiful goal.
Another Rio de Janeiro team to debut with victory in the Copinha, the most traditional youth tournament in Brazilian football, was Botafogo, who thrashed Pinheirense 4-0 at the Estádio Municipal Professor Luís Augusto de Oliveira, in São Carlos.
