No mercy from Ypiranga
Boavista will want this one forgotten quickly: 4‑1, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Ypiranga were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Both of them Thales's — 9.03
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.03, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Alexis Cuadro says Ypiranga went back on their word

Jakov Žiković pops up at the right end — 7.60
7.60, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.
