In turn, Curitiba beat Maringa and opened the advantage in the Paranaense final
4 min readOn Wednesday night (30), Maringa and Curitiba began to decide on Campeonato Paranaense. At Willie Davids Stadium, in the interior of the state, they both faced each other in the first game of the state final. In a highly contested duel, it was Coxa who eventually got the better, with a 2-1 win, on the return. Alemao even opened the scoring for the home team, but Leo Gamalio and Igor Paixao left the score in favor of the side coached by Gustavo Morenigo.
With this result, Curitiba’s position is well suited to the Campeonato Paranaense final. A simple draw, in the middle of Couto Pereira, included another State Cup for Coxa. By the way, the key factor is the mainstay of the Gustavo Morenigo team until the final. The rematch is scheduled for next weekend. In Couto Pereira, the ball will roll at 16:00 on Sunday (03)
Maringa, in turn, is still dreaming of the unprecedented title, but knows that he will need to reverse the negative result in Coto Pereira. Since there is no qualifying goal in the decision, a simple win would take the final to a penalty shootout. However, in normal time, the team from the inside only takes the victory cup with a margin of two or more goals.

Late start time
The match was due to start at 20:00, and there were problems even before the ball was rolled. Due to a partial power outage at Willie Davids Stadium, the final started just five minutes later, with the approval of goalkeepers from Curitiba and Maringa.
But after the match started, what was seen was a better Maringa. Playing at home, and facing a very changing midfield from Coritiba, the home team were able to win the field and create chances. The goal then came in the 29th minute, when Mirandinha risked a good shot from distance, Alex Moralia gave a rebound and Alemao looked free to hit the net.
Leaving the scoreboard behind, Curitiba attempted to strike back, but Igor Paixao was sent off after a fine pass from a thousand manga. With that, the duel went into the first half with Maringa partially winning, 1 to 0. Before the two teams went to the locker room, there was a quarrel and exchanges of pushes between the members of the two teams, but the referee chose not to send anyone off.
The second half of the transformation of Curitiba
Behind the pen, Curitiba came back from the break with a slightly bolder stance. However, it took some time to create a clear opportunity, due to Maringa’s defense in good standing. When he did, the goal came. In the 20th minute, after Guilherme Biro’s side kick, Léo Gamalho turned on the defender and kicked hard, equalizing the score.
Encouraged by equality, faced with Maringa’s decline, Curitiba pressed and turned quickly. Just five minutes after Leo Gamalo’s goal, Warley scored with Toni Anderson and a cross for Igor Paixao to end the match and turn the score around.
Since then, it has been up to Curitiba to manage the label. With wide control over the actions, Coxa began to risk less, but was compromised on every attack. In injury time, Andre hit the crossbar with a kick from outside the area. However, it ended with a good finish, it ended up 2 to 1, and the team turned around led by Gustavo Morenigo.
