The game
Internacional scared América-MG at the start and demanded good saves from goalkeeper Mateus Pasinato, with a header by Alan Patrick and a finish by Wanderson. After that, the pace of the game dropped and Colorado was no longer able to create. On America’s side, only Breno had a scare for the Gauchos.
Coelho tried to scare Inter at the beginning of the second half, but without success. Colorado, on the other hand, was endangered by Wanderson’s submission, in the 14th minute, which rocked the net from the outside. The team from Rio Grande do Sul even scored, but Maurício’s goal was annulled due to Alan Patrick’s lack of play. The Colorado midfielder received a second yellow card and was sent off.
In the end, in the 44th minute, the referee awarded a penalty to América after De Pena fouled Lucas Kal. Aloísio went to the penalty spot, displaced Keiller and opened the scoring at Arena Independência: 1-0.
With 13 minutes of additions, the match reserved even more emotions for the end. In the 56th minute, Bustos fouled Aloísio inside the area and the referee awarded the penalty. After VAR review, the right-back was sent off for the move. Aloísio went again to charge and converted: 2 to 0.
