Even when working away from home, the Red Bull Bragantino dominated the first half and created the main dangerous moments. So much so that the only chance for Eagles it was with Garavito, who deflected Salazar’s cross into the hands of Cleiton.
The best opportunities, however, were created by Massa Bruta. Eduardo Sasha made a startling header from the baseline and Helinho saw the shot graze Contreras’ crossbar. Vitinho also almost scored.
The panorama did not change after the break. After just 2 minutes, Léo Ortiz almost opened the scoring with a header from the baseline. The answer from Eagles came from a free kick taken by Salazar. Cleiton palmed it and avoided the goal.
In the best chance of the game, Laquintana was left with the corner taken by Lincoln and, inside the small area and with the goal open, finished from the baseline.
