In the 42nd minute of the first half, forward Figueiredo opened the scoring with style: a great goal from outside the area in the left corner of the goal, with no chance for Vinícius. On the return of the break, with less than a minute of ball rolling, midfielder Marlon Gomes, revelation of the Rio club, took advantage of Nenê’s cross to extend with a well-aimed kick. Then, in the 42nd minute, after a corner, the right-back tested to the back of the net and closed the score at 3-0.
