The red-black goals were scored by Mattheus (2), Eduardo (2), Recife and one own goal. With the result, the Mais Querido remains at the top of group E, with ten points won.

"The team did very well. Even with a good lead on the scoreboard, our players continued to attack América, marking inside the opponent's half and showing great commitment," praised Cleber dos Santos, the red-black coach.
