In the middle of the week, Ramón Diaz said that he had spared Corinthians players against Juventude because there was a final on Sunday. And it wasn’t just in his speech. On his birthday, the team from Parque São Jorge faced Flamengo as if it were a final and got three precious points in the fight against relegation with a 2-1 victory. The ghost of the Z-4 still haunts.
Yuri Alberto’s expulsion in injury time, followed by an outburst from the fans at the Neo Química Arena and a general brawl, is a good symbol of the mood. The red-and-black team also got carried away, saw precious minutes lost in the confusion and lost Alcaraz, who was sent off in his debut. Cacá also received a red card.
With the stadium absolutely packed, catimba while they were ahead on the scoreboard and fouls and more fouls, Alvinegro stopped Tite’s uninspired team, which suffered from the absence of names like Arrascaeta, Cebolinha and De La Cruz, but had enough players to play more than this Sunday.
