With the triumph achieved at home this Wednesday, Leão will keep the title even if they are defeated in the return match, which will be played from 4:30 pm (Brasília time) next Sunday (9) at the Rei Pelé stadium, in Maceió.
Trying to hold on to the draw to try to define the title at home, CRB scored strongly in the first minutes of the match and prevented Fortaleza from building attacking moves. However, as time went by, the Alagoas team got tired and started to give space to the Ceará team, who did not forgive. In the 40th minute, striker Moisés made a good individual play before hitting the ball past goalkeeper Matheus Albino.

Eight minutes later, the team led by Argentine coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda managed to expand with Lucero, who struck first after receiving a low cross from Tinga. In the final stage, Fortaleza had clear opportunities to expand, especially in two shots from Lucero that goalkeeper Matheus Albino managed to save.
CRB scored in the 41st minute of the final stage with Anselmo Ramon heading in, but the move was annulled by the referee, with the help of VAR (video referee), due to the attacker’s offside position.
