Now, Glorioso and Massa Bruta will meet again next Wednesday (13), starting at 8:30 pm (Manaus time), at the Nabi Abi Chedid stadium, in Bragança Paulista, to decide who advances to the next phase. And General Severiano’s team arrives with the advantage of qualifying even with a draw.
Despite taking the final victory, Botafogo did not have an easy time facing Bragantino, with whom they played a very physical duel. And Glorioso’s best weapon was striker Júnior Santos, who appeared on the wings in quick plays. And it was in this way that he opened the scoring, in the 43rd minute, when he started down the right, got rid of two defenders and hit violently to beat goalkeeper Cleiton.
However, the black and white joy was short-lived, as two minutes later Bragantino secured a draw with Juninho Capixaba, who scored with a header after Helinho lifted the ball in the area.
