The second half was balanced, nervous and with chances for both sides.
But, when everything seemed to be heading towards a decision on penalties, the painful blow came for the tricolors.
Gustavinho, from Raposa, took a risk from afar, the ball neatly exploded off the post and, on the way back, hit goalkeeper João Pedro’s back before dying inside the goal.
Tragic script thing.
After that, Tricolor tried every way, but it didn’t work.
Deserved title for the team from Minas Gerais, which won its second Cup, repeating the feat of 2007 (curiously, also against São Paulo).
