Zebra again! As has happened with other traditional clubs in the country this season, the Basque was another one eliminated early in the Brazil’s Cup. After a 1-1 draw in normal time – goals from Bruno Nazário, for the Cariocas, and Nildo Petrolina, for the Bahians – Cruz-Maltino was overcome on penalties by Juazeirense by 4-2, with two saves by the experienced goalkeeper Rodrigo Calaça. , 41 years old. Now the team from Juazeiro (BA) awaits the CBF draw to know their opponent for the next stage of the competition.
Already qualified for the semifinals of Carioca Championship, Vasco faces Resende, on Sunday (13), in São Januário, to define his position and meet his rival in the decisive phase of the State Championship. Juazeirense faces Atlético (BA), on the same date, in their fight to escape relegation in the Bahia Championship.
Experienced Juazeirense goalkeeper shines on penalties
Just as it had been in normal time, Juazeirense also excelled in penalties. The Bahian team converted all of its charges, while, on Vasco’s side, the main player, Nenê, wasted it, as did defender Anderson Conceição. Both kicks ended up in the hands of experienced goalkeeper Rodrigo Calaça, 41, who was revealed by Goiás and played for other clubs in Brazil.
The cross-Maltino archer Thiago Rodrigues managed to hit the corner of most of the kicks, but was unable to execute a defense.
Yuri Lara returns after almost a month and a half
One of Vasco’s first reinforcements this season, midfielder Yuri Lara returned to action after almost a month and a half away due to an ankle injury. The player entered the second half in place of Zé Gabriel. His last match had been on January 29, in a 1-1 draw with Boavista, for Carioca.
The best – Gabriel Pec
The young striker is in a good phase, confident and risking moves. He gave a beautiful assist for Bruno Nazário’s goal, which was difficult to execute, and he was very participative.
The worst – Edmar
Bureaucratic, the left side participated little and made some silly mistakes, reaching the point of taking a reversal in a side charge.
Juazeirense fans shouted “olé” during the game
Feeling that their team was better in the match, the Juazeirense crowd shouted “olé” to the team at the beginning of the second half, when the match was tied at 1-1.
