Playing away from home, Fortaleza had a perfect first half to build an elastic advantage. Just after two minutes, Thiago Galhardo scored after a good counterattack move by his team. At 24 minutes Romarinho hit a beautiful shot from outside the area to expand. And the visitors reached the third before the break, with defender Marcelo Benevenuto heading in the 36th minute.
