Two behemoths came out in the exact status of a packed Maracana that delivered a show as expected. But he did not allow them to climb.
Two giants of South American football attended the eighth day of the Brasileirao, such as flamenco And Cruzeiro with the full expectation of winning for the fifth time to climb into the direct qualifying zone for the Libertadores 2024, the goal of Jorge Sampaoli and Pepa, who replaced Pezzolano in March, but the 1-1 did not let them transcend to the first places in an option wasted by both. The Chileans? Erick Pulgar played all day, with a respectable 87% passing accuracy, while Vidal didn’t come off the bench.

Rubro-Negro and Maior de Minas came out of the crossroads practically on equal footing: both fifth, with 13 points, although the US champions recently landed from Chile, where they tied for the Cup with Ñublense, while the visitor focused exclusively on his local challenges as he has just returned from Serie B. The draw, materialized in the goals of Marlon and Ayrton Lucas, didn’t satisfy either the Casildense or Pepa too much, but after the bet it looked like the favorite took it out cheaply, due to the solid inclusions from Matheus Cunha, a bolt to avoid defeat deemed possible by the trial.
5’GOOOOOOOOL! MARLON! The full-back paired with Bruno Rodrigues and then got what goal to finish powerfully on the roof of the goal with the first goal of the day, for Cruzeiro in Maracana.
