The Ath. Paranaense, pushed by his crooked, went out to look for a goal that would ignite the final. And he did it in the 21st minute, in a shot of Pedro Rocha, after a good attendance of Leo Citradini… but the goal was annulled by the VAR by some hands of the forward. And there any possibility of reaction ended. The Galo, who closed to exploit the speed of his tips, conceded a counterattack that ended Kenon, after the good participation of Zaracho Y Eduardo Vargas. 0-1. It was minute 24.
To make matters worse for the team Alberto Valentim, Kayzer he had to leave the field injured. And the Furacao ran out of gunpowder, since Nikao, the hero of the conquest of the South American Cup, followed the game from the stands because he did not recover in time from a blow to the ankle in the first leg. Too many setbacks to overcome.
The game and the final were seen for sentence, but Ath. Paranaense had the honor of never lowering his arms in a second half of more fighting than football. But nevertheless, Hulk, who ended up being the striker for Brasileirao and the Copa do Brasil, scored 0-2 in the 75th minute. And, Jaderson, put the final 1-2 in minute 86 in an anecdotal point that made up the scoreboard.
