The only goal of the match came in the fifth minute. Cruzeiro’s Dudu fired a great corner kick into the box. It was pinball machine time. The ball went around and around until Rodolfo or was it Wesley who put the ball into the back of the net.  Originally, Wesley was given credit but upon further review from officials in the sky, it was deemed Rodolfo hit the back of the net. 

The defeat was hard for Parana. Parana breezed through the group stage. They creamed everyone in sight. Then bamo, Parana faced a tough Cruzeiro team. Can you say voce vai amigo.

This was a very difficult victory for Cruzeiro.  Cruzeiro is unbeaten so far in the Copa Sao Paulo. The young guns are playing very well. You can bet the house the top teams from all over the world are looking at and taking notes on how well these cats perform. 

Four teams from Mineiros were entered in the Copa Sao Paulo. Only one is left standing Cruzeiro.

Up next for Cruzeiro is Inter de Limeira. Limeira defeated Campinas 2-1.

Atletico-MG and Funorte were set packing in the group stage. America lost to Corinthians 2-0 in the second round.

Sao Paulo is on the next round as well. Paulista has three wins and one draw so far in the Copa Sao Paulo.

On Sunday the battle for State of Rio, title will begin.

Flamengo will have one of its best squads in history.

Mengao will have a two-headed monster attack. The Emperor Adriano and Vagner Love will knock the nets silly. Add Obina to the mix and can you say “Oh my God.”

I can’t wait for the new Campeonato to begin.

This will happen in May but until then, we will have the Campeonato de Rio and the Copa Libertadores kicking off pretty soon.

You gotta love it.
