The Olympic goal in Copa Sudamericana
After Edson Cariús’ initial goal, around 22 minutes into the first half, the Guarani cadre might not resist the power in attack of the Paulista cadre, that advanced lines and made life difficult for the locals.
The first goal of the visit came by the work and grace of Juninho Capixaba, regarding 39 minutes into the first half. In a corner charge, from the western zone with the south, the left-back took enough distance to send the ball towards the upper right corner of the rival goal.
The goal was celebrated in a great way, without a doubt, since an Olympic goal is not seen every day. Already for the second time, with three more goals from the Brazilians, the score was finalized.
It is worth noting that RB Bragantino shares group with Tacuary (Paraguay), Oriente Petrolero (Bolivia) and Estudiantes de la Plata (Argentina) in zone C of the South American Cup.
