And the triumph of Leão da Ilha, which was broadcast live by TV Brasilhighlighted by striker Chrystian Barletta. The 23-year-old started to shine in the 29th minute of the first half, when he made a wonderful pass to midfielder Fabinho, who finished with the toe of his boot to beat goalkeeper Vladimir.
In the 38th minute Barletta stood out again, this time by dominating at the edge of the area, turning on the defense and hitting a well-placed shot to extend Leão’s advantage on the scoreboard. Even with an advantage, Sport continued to press. And the third ended up coming just before the break, when Cariús advanced from the right wing and crossed low to Felipinho, who, inside the area, dominated and hit it to score the third.
In the final stage, the Pernambuco team continued to create a lot, and managed to produce final numbers with defender Chico after the ball was raised in the area following a corner kick.
