In the 16th minute, another penalty. Wesley took the shot to the right corner and Rayr stretched to save it. On the rebound, the striker sent it wide. In the 24th minute, the third penalty was awarded in the match. Alan Patrick went to take it and hit the crossbar. But in the 27th minute, Colorado sealed their place in the round of 16 with Wesley, who scored the second goal of the game, lobbing the Maracanã goalkeeper. The third goal came in the 40th minute. Romero controlled the ball, adjusted it and kicked it into the corner of Rayr’s goal.
PENALTY TAKER
If goalkeeper Rayr had already saved a penalty from Alan Patrick in the first leg, in the second leg he made another save, saving a chipped shot from the Colorado midfielder. Rayr also saved a second penalty, this time from Wesley, in the second half. However, the saves did not save Maracanã from elimination.
