First time

The game started a bit truncated, very tight in the midfield, but little by little Ceará started to loosen up, even without Mendoza and Vina, heavy absences for the duel.

With Yury Castilho, Fernando Sobral and Cléber participating, Vozão created the first chances, first with Sobral hitting from outside the area, and then the Cuiabá defense blocking Cléber’s attempt. Dourado responded with Osório’s submission, hitting the ball wide.

Ceará continued better, with more possession of the ball and territorial dominance of the game, but the attack attempts were inaccurate, especially the crosses looking for Cléber. And the home team, Cuiabá, can’t fit in their counterattack game.

Superior on the field, Vovô continued with the initiative of the game and was closer to the goal in the final stretch of the 1st half.

First, Cléber made a play on the right, crossed and before the ball reached Castilho, Walter got the ball.

In the best chance, in the 38th minute, Bruno Pacheco received it at the entrance of the penalty area and finished on the post.

Second time

The final stage started with Ceará trying to score, but Erick sent it over with a minute into the game.

But after the initial chance, Cuiabá grew in the game. Rounding the Ceará area, Dourado was dangerous, in the best chance with Camilo, hitting out.

With the entries of Geovane, Lima and Matheus Peixoto, Ceará tried to balance the game and succeeded. The Vovô returned to have more possession of the ball and to press, even without the intensity of the 1st half. At 17, Lima received at the entrance of the area and stamped the defense.

Cuiabá responded with the entries of Valdívia and Elton, becoming more dangerous, with the white-and-white defense managing to disarm well.

The game continued to be played, very marked, but without inspiration from both teams. So, with so much perspiration and delivery, the chances were rare.

For Ceará, Nino Paraíba made a good individual move, crossed and Luiz Otávio headed for Walter’s defense, in the 37th minute.

Cuiabá responded in the next minute: after a pass from Valdívia, Michel Macêdo tried to cut and the ball was left for Elton, but before finishing in the small area, the defender of Ceará recovered and saved.

The home team increased the pressure in the final stretch of the game, with Ceará managing to hold on to the result, securing another point in Serie A.
