Railway suffers, but passes through Tricolor
In Araraquara, the scenario before the ball rolled was similar to the other semifinal. Ferroviária scored 3-1, away from home, in the first leg and seemed to have a great advantage over São Paulo. However, Tricolor needed only 45 minutes to bring many uncertainties to the duel.
In two aerial moves from the left, in the final stretch of the first stage, São Paulo recovered ground in the tie and went into the break with a score that took the decision for the vacancy to penalties. At 36 minutes, Micaelly got up in the area and Ariel, completely free, finished with a header to open the scoring. Six minutes later, Micaelly took a free kick on the left, the ball crossed the entire area without anyone diverting it and found its way into the back of Luciana’s net.
The second half was tense, divided between two teams that wanted to avoid penalties but also feared a fatal goal that would eliminate them. The vacancy was even for the decision by penalties.
At this moment, goalkeeper Luciana grew, while the Tricolor scouts failed. São Paulo’s first three charges were wasted. Cacau stopped on the right post, while Pardal and Ariel had their kicks saved by Luciana. The dispute only lasted a little longer because Lari, for Ferroviária, also did not convert his charge. Mylena Carioca, in Ferroviária’s fourth charge, scored and closed the decision at 3-1.
Ferroviária reaches its third decision. So far it has 100% success, with two finals and two titles (the first came in 2014, in the dispute with Kindermann).
