O JOGO 

Despite falling behind in the first half, the team led by coach Vinicius Durante had enough balance to overcome the adversity. 

With two changes at halftime, with Daniel coming in at defense and Emanuel up front, the team equalized in the fifth minute. A cross from the right flank was skillfully passed by striker Luiz Guilherme, who slotted the ball into the back of the net. 

Minutes later, João Vitor, with a shot from the edge of the penalty area, and Luiz Guilherme nearly broke the deadlock. But it didn't take long for Mengão to secure the victory. Shortly after the timeout, Luiz Guilherme, the Mais Querido's number 9, scored the second, following a beautiful pass from Emanuel.
