Continuation of the game

Not slowing down, Cruzeiro scored their second goal three minutes into the second half. Arroyo crossed from the left, the opposing defense poorly cleared the ball, and Kaio Jorge made it 2-0 on the scoreboard. At 18 minutes, KJ initiated a counterattack and passed to Arroyo. The young Colombian forward entered the area and struck a powerful shot to beat Longo and score the third goal for the home team. After a long period of dominance from Cruzeiro, Corinthians had a chance with striker Yuri Alberto, who shot towards the corner and forced goalkeeper Cássio to make a great save. However, the play was ruled offside by the officials. Corinthians’ situation worsened at 37 minutes when midfielder José Martínez elbowed Matheus Pereira in the back and received a red card after the referee Alex Gomes Stefano reviewed the incident in the VAR booth. Finally, Cruzeiro adopted a training pace and controlled the actions until the final whistle. The team even managed to score again, with striker Luis Sinisterra, but the goal was disallowed due to a foul in the play.
