Vitória is again leader of Série B! On the night of this Wednesday (19), Rubro-negro beat Sport by 2 to 1 and took a leap in the standings. The match was valid for the 18th round of Série B and played on Ilha do Retiro.

With the result away from home, Leão ends the round in first place, rising three places, with 34 points. Vila Nova, who were the leaders, were defeated in stoppage time by Ceará.

The next match will be against Chapecoense, on Monday (24), at Barradão.

THE GAME

The first half at Ilha do Retiro was marked by a studied start to the game and a balanced midfield, which made it difficult for the teams to create a play.

In a tough game, there was a great chance for each side to score in the first 30 minutes.

Sport almost opened the scoring in the 25th minute, when Wagner Leonardo took a shot from Ewerthon on top of the line, which received a rebound from Lucas Arcanjo. Vitória was also stopped on top of the line after a corner kick, defended by Renan. On the rebound, Yan Souto stopped at the back.

And who opened the scoring was Vitória! At 45 minutes, Matheus Gonçalves received the ball on the left end and tried a low cross. Rafael Thyere tried to cut and covered the goalkeeper, scoring an own goal.

On the way back to the second stage, the pressure came from Sport, who tied at five minutes. This time, Camutanga scored the own goal after a corner kick.

Despite suffering a draw in the first minutes, Vitória did not show depression and continued in search of the second goal, with the left side as the escape valve.

Vitória scored their second goal with Zé Hugo! After living with a long bad phase, the striker scored a great goal in the 21st minute in the first touch of the ball after entering the game.

In the final stretch, Leão managed to maintain the advantage, without failing to attack the opponent and defending himself as he could, celebrating the victory after the final whistle.
