Performance by Ceará

In the second half, the permanent assistant coach of Ceará, Juca Antonello, who took charge of the team after the farewell of Fight Gonzalez, he tried to bet on speed, but Cléber’s expulsion changed the scenario and Ceará found himself more cornered. After Flu’s goal, the team failed to show reaction force, despite the changes.
