[ad_1]
Caxias made history at the Beira-Rio stadium this Sunday (26), by defeating Internacional on penalties by 5-4, in Beira-Rio, after 1-1 in normal time. With the result, the team from Caxias do Sul faces Grêmio in the final of the Campeonato Gaúcho. After the final whistle, the players from Inter and Caxias fought on the field, in a fight that also included fans who invaded the pitch.
The first leg of the final will take place next Saturday, April 1st, at Centenario Stadium. The second game of the final will be at Arena do Grêmio, on April 8th.
The first half started with impressive pressure from Internacional over Caxias. Just after 2 minutes, Maurício kicked from outside the area to a great save by goalkeeper Bruno who spread it out for a corner kick. At five minutes, Carlos de Pena took a chance and the ball went close to the goal. Caxias only reached the Colorado goal after eight minutes, through two corner kicks. In the 12th minute, Eron won with Thauan Lara’s speed and crossed low into the area. Close to the penalty mark, Bustos and Peninha disputed the ball, which was kept by goalkeeper Keiller. In the 14th minute, right-back Bustos tried to move away, but ended up playing the ball in the direction of his own goal. The ball was in excellent condition for Jean Dias, inside the area. The attacking midfielder finished off goalkeeper Keiller, who made a good save to avoid the first goal for Caxias.
In the 19th minute, after putting so much pressure, Inter opened the scoring with Maurício, to the delight of the more than 37,000 Colorado fans present at Beira-Rio. Luiz Adriano made the pivot for Alan Patrick, who returned it. The Colorado striker found Maurício, in the penalty area, free, who kicked it to the back of the net. Caxias, however, did not give up, and in the 47th minute, in the last move of the initial stage, they tied the match. Jean Dias made a beautiful play on the left by deceiving midfielder Baralhas and crossed for Eron to head in, with no chance of defense for goalkeeper Keiller.
In the second half, the match started with both teams looking for victory. In the first minute of the game, Eron was launched and crossed low, but no one from Caxias entered the area to finish in Keiller’s goal. At 2 minutes, Alan Patrick found Wanderson in the area, who cut to the middle and tried to finish, but was blocked by Marcelo. At 7 minutes, Wanderson kicked hard and the ball hit the post.
At 22 minutes into the final stage, coach Mano Menezes responded to the crowd’s requests and put Pedro Henrique in place of Wanderson. In the 31st minute, Carlos de Pena was expelled after committing a violent foul. In an electrifying final game, Caxias and Inter had chances to score a goal that, if it came out, would define the classification. But the game was even tied at 1 to 1, the same score as the previous match in Caxias do Sul and which required penalty kicks.
At the time of the charges, Caxias was efficient and got them all right: Marcão, Jean Dias, Guedes and Marcelo, in sequence, converted. Inter hit with Alan Patrick, Pedro Henrique, Alemão and Matheus Dias, also scoring in all charges. In the fifth colorada charge, however, goalkeeper Bruno defended Estevão’s charge – and Wesley hit well to guarantee the grená classification. By celebrating, Wesley ended up irritating the Colorado opponents, which led to a widespread fight on the side of the lawn – made worse by the invasion of the lawn by some fans. A note that ended up making the elimination even more embarrassing for the red fans.
