Social opened the scoring against Alterosa in the 47th minute of the first half, on Saturday (14), at Estádio Municipal Coronel Juventino Dias in Lavras, in the second round of Group A of the Rex Cup 2026 (Copa Rex 2026).
The move started on the left with Xardão, the number 7. He played a give-and-go with Gui, received the ball back inside the box and struck it across goal, with no chance for goalkeeper Tiago. "After trying so hard all first half, this time there was nothing to be done," said Júnior Murad.
Social, the reigning champions, had been pressing since the start and had already been stopped by good saves from Tiago. Alterosa is making its debut in the competition.
