Six points from two games and the lead of Group A. Social beat Alterosa 3-0 on Saturday afternoon (14) at Coronel Juventino Dias Municipal Stadium (Estádio Municipal Coronel Juventino Dias), in Lavras, and play-by-play announcer Júnior Murad, of Rádio Cultura, recorded for this story's video his analysis of the win by the defending champion of the Rex Cup (Copa Rex).
The analysis
In Júnior Murad's view, Social struggled in the first half, but the game changed after the first goal. "After Mateus Xardão opened the scoring, things became much more in Social's favor," he said.
Alterosa, coached by Wendel Xaropinho, made its debut in the competition and did not give up. "They were very brave, they fought, they gave everything, but they ended up succumbing to Social's greater volume of play," the announcer said, adding that he sees Fabrício's team starting to set up its qualification.
The goals
Mateus Xardão opened the scoring in stoppage time of the first half, at 47 minutes, with a cross-shot inside the box. In the second half, Guilherme, G9, scored twice: he extended the lead at 18 minutes with a right-footed shot and sealed the result at 44, converting a high shot from the penalty Iago Ribeiro had won. With both goals, G9 was named the player of the match and received the Sicoob Copermec trophy.
