Fortaleza kills Mérida students in South American and remains 100%
Despite the inconsistencies in the presentation, Fortaleza continues to perform impeccably in the South American Championship. Against Estudiantes de Mérida, this Thursday (4), Tricolor reached 6-1 and maintained the overall leadership of Group H with a nine-point victory. Likewise, the Venezuelan team remains at zero and in last place in the group, far from fighting for a place in the next phase.

Even so, the goal was opened by the stadium referee when the Video Referee was called and a penalty was awarded after a handball inside the box in the 26th minute on the left wing saw striker Beycker Velásquez fall into the right corner. Shortly before the break and even without showing the strength of the team led by Juan Pablo Vojvoda, a good attack with the introduction of José Welison was enough to make Leão's advantage comfortable. In the 42nd minute, Guilherme sent the attacking midfielder into the area with a kick, sending it into Velásquez's left corner. ACTION ON WARNING? When the surrender seemed to be heading towards the end of the first half before the Mérida team threatened even Fernando Miguel's goal, in Venezuela's first attack, the point was transferred again to Arena Castelão, this time by the visitors. After a cross from the left flank, Medrano barely controlled it, but shot high, seeing the ball hit the post before hitting the Fortaleza net. LEÃO 'SAVED' BY VAR Shortly after the break, the changes in the Mérida team worked almost immediately in the movement, as a cross at the first post was deflected by Arenas to Fernando Miguel in what would have been the equalizer in the capital of Ceará. However, a VAR check ruled the attacker offside and the goal was subsequently disallowed. THE GOAL PACKED The game evolved in a dangerous way for the Brazilian team, which even with the ball at their feet saw Estudiantes dare to attack and dangerously bypass the tricolor defenders. But, in the 24th minute, Calebe was brought down inside the area and referee Jhon Hinestroza awarded a penalty. In attack, this time Thiago Galhardo took command and sent hard down the left flank, seeing Beycker Velásquez go to the other side. Four minutes later, Pici's team equalized the victory through a play in which Zé Welison attacked like a servant and served Calebe, with a cross, to see his teammate being tested in the back of the Venezuelan net. To close the score, Moisés sent fireworks, with no chance of disturbing Velásquez, in addition to Silvio Romero finishing a corner with a well-aimed cross. 6 to 1, final score.
