Coritiba held Santos at Vila Belmiro and will decide the place at Alto da Glória

Coritiba held Santos at Vila Belmiro and will decide the place at Alto da Glória. This is where the doubt remains, as Coxa has behaved better as a visitor than as a home team, although they managed to break the routine by being dominated by Atlético Mineiro, but emerging victorious by 2-0.

The game started off busy with good scoring opportunities for both Coritiba, two with Josué and one with Lucas Ronier, and for the opponent who tried to impose themselves with the presence of Neymar, without success once again.

In reality, Neymar participated in the game as a supporting player and, as a highlight, he received a yellow card and a ball hit goalkeeper Pedro Rangel’s crossbar from a free kick. Nothing more, to the disappointment of coach Cuca, who accepted the great challenge of taking command of Peixe, investing heavily in the experienced Neymar and Gabigol.

Coach Fernando Seabra decided to save some starters for the next challenges in the Brazilian Championship and the Copa do Brasil itself. Thus, the defense was formed by Tinga, Tiago Coser and Jacy, fully getting the job done.

Striker Breno Lopes hit a shot against the crossbar and Pedro Rocha had a real chance to score the goal, finishing poorly.

Returning to the result of zero to zero, theoretically it benefits Coritiba, who will decide the place at home. This is theoretically given the facts that show the Alviverde team to be very efficient as a visitor and shy as a home team. These are technical issues that intrigue us and leave us absolutely unable to effectively promote any prognosis.

But the motivation is great and certainly, with the support of the fans, the tendency is for Coxa to confirm its technical superiority over Santos and move forward in the competition.
