Até o momento, o Paraná está na 11ª colocação, com 35 pontos, três a menos que o CRB, primeiro time do G4. O Coxa entra na rodada em sexto lugar, com 37 pontos. Sendo assim, um bom resultado na casa do rival deixa a equipe entre os quatro melhores.

Como chega o Paraná?

Se na classificação o G4 parece distante, na pontuação a história é bem diferente. Com três pontos a menos que o primeiro time da zona de acesso, o Tricolor quer ganhar uma grande injeção de ânimo na reta final da temporada e para isso acontecer, nada melhor que derrotar um adversário estadual.

Além da empolgação para o clássico, em caso de vitória no Paratiba, o Tricolor vai encerrar um jejum de três meses sem vencer dentro da Vila Capanema. O último resultado positivo em casa aconteceu no dia 13 de julho, pela 9ª rodada da competição.

Como chega o Coritiba?

No Coritiba o clima é de mistério. Após atravessar uma fase ruim com Umberto Louzer, a equipe reagiu sob o comando de Jorginho e agora tenta engatar uma vitória no clássico para dormir no G4.

Em relação a escalação, Alex Muralha, suspenso, cede a sua vaga para Rafael Martins. No ataque, Rafinha deve ficar à disposição, mas não sabe se começa o jogo. Kelvin pode ficar com a vaga.

Prováveis Escalações:

Paraná: Thiago Rodrigues; Éder Sciola, Leandro Almeida, Rodolfo e Guilherme Santos; Luiz Otávio, Fernando Neto, Judivan e Vitinho; Bruno Rodrigues e Jenison. Técnico: Matheus Costa.

Coritiba: Rafael Martins; Diogo Matheus, Sabino, Romércio e William Matheus; Matheus Salles, Juan Alano e Giovanni; Rafinha (Kelvin), Robson e Rodrigão. Técnico: Jorginho.

This World Cup has already been an unprecedented experience for New Zealand. It is not about to calm down as they face Australia at Eden Park

‘Playing Australia doesn’t change anything’ – McCullum

This World Cup has already been an unprecedented experience for the New Zealand side. It is not about to calm down as they face Australia at Eden Park in what is expected to be the biggest crowd for a cricket match in the country for more than 30 years.The record attendance in New Zealand is 42,000, for the 1982 match between the same two sides, and that will not be broken on Saturday with Eden Park’s current capacity set at 40,000. Still, with the sharply tiered stands that now surrounded the stadium set to be packed, it is likely to be an atmosphere rarely felt by the home side.That game in 1982 was a victory for New Zealand despite a century by Greg Chappell and also marked the debut of Martin Crowe, who will be inducted into the ICC’s hall of fame during the interval on Saturday. A repeat result this time will maintain the frenzy of excitement that has enveloped the New Zealand campaign.The team has had time to soak up the mood since thrashing England in Wellington in front of a crowd in excess of 30,000. The side split up for a few days to take advantage of the week’s break, but the hype has not died down. When the squad went to an event in the Auckland city centre there was a throng of fans wanting autographs and selfies.Embracing the mood of the nation has been a key part of New Zealand’s outlook during this tournament, and this match was a specific focus from very early in the planning stages as the team’s on-field results started to raise the level of expectation.”We knew that was going to be the case, especially if we started the tournament well,” Brendon McCullum said of the focus on his team. “We tried to factor that into our plans a long time ago, for the whole squad, not just those on the field but the back-room staff as well.”We’ve seen the way the public has reacted, the guys have loved it. Full houses are great and people driving past with flags hanging out of their cars. We’ve encouraged everyone to enjoy the tournament and lap up the chance to go out and about rather than a burden.”That was the beauty of preparation we had coming in. We were able to deeply ingrain that mentality among the group. The anticipation for this game is big but I feel the guys are in a good place because of the work we have done. I don’t think we will be overawed.”New Zealand’s stability and confidence was reinforced as they named an unchanged XI for the fourth match in a row. McCullum, though, was also keen to stress that there is no more, or less, riding on this match than the three previous outings in the group stage.”The points that are on offer tomorrow are no different to those against Sri Lanka, Scotland or England,” he said. “It is a big game, will be a great atmosphere and one the guys will remember for long time, but the points are still the same.”New Zealand’s approach in the middle has been one of all-out – but calculated – aggression whether with the ball or bat. McCullum has been central to that, from driving his first ball of the tournament for four to slaying England last weekend and hurling himself around the field.The outstanding performance against England, coupled with the implosion of Eoin Morgan’s team, means New Zealand have not yet been pushed in the tournament but that will not be a signal for them to alter the mindset for their toughest assignment so far.”We have a blueprint which has worked very well for us and it’s how we do that in front of 40-odd thousand people,” McCullum said. “If we can do that I’ll be pretty pleased, win or lose. Obviously we want to win but we can only control the cards in our hand. If we do that we’ll be pretty happy.”One of the areas where McCullum values having “control” is with the fielding. Their display against England was breathtaking and McCullum called it “the best I’ve seen from a New Zealand team.””Everyone wants to score runs and everyone wants to take wickets, but it’s not how the game works. Fielding you can control,” he said. “Fielding for us is non-negotiable. It’s a sign of attitude and shows how desperate we are as a team.”The team may be desperate to achieve success, but they are equally aware of it not becoming so overbearing that they forget to enjoy the magnitude of what they are undertaking. “We are living the dream,” McCullum said, “playing a World Cup at home and tomorrow will be a great event – 40-odd thousand people and playing against Australia, it doesn’t get any better.”

A round-up of the matches played in Group C of the Ranji Trophy on December 9, 2014

ESPNcricinfo staff09-Dec-2014Group C
ScorecardKrishna Das registered his best first-class figures of 7 for 50•PTI Assam picked up a bonus point after Krishna Das ran through Tripura’s batting in Guwahati. Starting the third day trailing by 138, Tripura’s second innings folded for 155, with medium-pacer Krishna picking up seven wickets to finish with match figures of 10 for 91. This left Assam chasing a target of 16 runs, and they completed the job without losing a wicket.Tripura were 2 for 0 at the start of the day, and their openers put on 39 before Krishna picked up his first wicket. The top four all got into double figures, and their third-wicket pair of Rajesh Bainik and Rakesh Solanki put on 73 to steer Tripura to a solid 113 for 2, before the wicket of Bainik began a collapse that saw eight wickets fall for 42 runs. All seven batsmen Krishna dismissed were out bowled or lbw.
ScorecardHyderabad took firm control of their clash against Andhra, as three-wicket hauls from Syed Quadri and Ravi Kiran helped the team collect a crucial first-innings lead. In reply to Hyderabad’s 522, Andhra began the day well-placed at 121 for 0, but were dealt an early blow when the opener Srikar Bharat (75) was dismissed in the first over. Bharat’s opening partner Prasanth Kumar carried on, stroking a fourth first-class hundred, but none of the other batsmen were able to make good on their starts and raise a fifty, as Andhra were bowled out for 369. Prasanth hit 17 fours and a six during his 124, while for Hyderabad, Quadri picked up 3 for 54 and Kiran took 3 for 103. With a 153-run lead in hand, Hyderabad enforced the follow-on. Andhra were 24 for 0 at stumps.
ScorecardServices were stung by Himachal Pradesh’s lower order on the third day which resulted in a 253-run deficit for the home team at the Palam Ground in Delhi. They then lost their top three batsmen in the latter half of the day and were left staring at a possible defeat. Services were still 162 short of making Himachal bat again.Resuming from their overnight 255 for 6, Himachal lost their seventh wicket after the addition of 16 runs. But if Services thought they would be able to bat again soon, it was not be. Nikhil Gangta, who has a scored a century in first-class cricket previously, added 55 for the eight wicket with Karnaveer Singh, followed it up with a 77-run partnership along with Vikramjeet Malik (59 off 47 balls), before adding 75 for the last wicket with Pankaj Jaiswal (41 off 46 balls). Gangta fell one short of a century; he was the last wicket to fall. But by that time, the team had scored 224 runs in 49.1 overs.
ScorecardAmit Verma’s ninth first-class century anchored the Kerala innings in their response to Goa’s 367 in Wayanad. Verma was the last batsman to be dismissed on the day – after a 287-ball 129 that included 13 fours and three sixes – but the innings ensured Kerala moved within 68 runs of Goa’s total.Kerala started on 60 for 2 but were jolted in the fifth over of the morning as KB Pawan was caught behind off Saurabh Bandekar. The dismissal brought Sanju Samson to the crease but he could only score 24 from 95 balls before being dismissed by Shadab Jakati. Sachin Baby, the Kerala captain, added 80 for the fifth-wicket with Verma before being caught behind off Jakati for 31. Verma found a solid ally in Nikhilesh Surendran and the two put the best stand of the innings – 86 runs in 30.3 overs – to edge Kerala closer to the target. However, Verma was dismissed four overs before the close of day, leaving both sides with a chance of grabbing the point for first-innings lead on the fourth day.

This is the season of bounteous abundance yet Worcestershire’s players may feel they have been altogether too generous of late

This is the season of bounteous abundance yet Worcestershire’s players may feel they have been altogether too generous of late.It is for the Ladies’ Pavilion at New Road to be laden with delicious cakes and only expected that the boughs of the chestnut tree shadowing the corporate marquee should bend with leaf and conker. It is quite another matter when Daryl Mitchell’s players take such charity across the boundary, as they have done when losing to Gloucestershire and Derbyshire in their last two Championship games.Those results, combined with Hampshire’s resurgence, have narrowed the gap between the top two from 45 points to a mere seven. Even more significantly, both Surrey and Essex treasure hopes that they will be playing Division One cricket next summer. So while the county’s fields are packed with crops and their orchard-trees groan with fruit, Worcestershire’s cricketers have yet to harvest their year’s labours. Promotion, which once seemed so probable, cannot yet be toasted.The initial skirmishes of the vital game against Surrey did nothing to calm home supporters. Mitchell probably knew that he was taking a slight risk in choosing to bat first in a game beginning at 10.30; yet his players could be comforted that it was their captain, the season’s leading scorer in Championship cricket yesterday morning, who would be facing Surrey’s seamers on a wicket offering early help.Four balls into the game Mitchell was trooping off after edging a ball from Jade Dernbach which hardly required a stroke to the safe hands of Rory Burns at second slip. He was one of four Worcestershire batsmen not to bother the scorers on a day which raised plenty of questions about their techniques against the moving ball. By lunchtime, which always seems to be a major occasion in these parts, the home side were 132 for 5 in a mere 27 overs. Albeit that Dernbach and Matt Dunn had bowled well, Worcestershire’s top order had hardly looked of Division One calibre.Richard Oliver fell into a trap about as subtle as a kick up the bum when he pulled Dernbach straight to the studiously positioned Gareth Batty as deep square-leg; Tom Fell was lbw on the crease to Dunn playing a barely recognisable shot; and Alex Kervezee drove limply at the same bowler only to nick to wicketkeeper Gary WilsonYet the curious thing was that the day also offered the fine crowd three half-centurions in Moeen Ali, Tom Kohler-Cadmore and Joe Leach, who hit a total of 27 fours in reaching their fifties. However, while both Moeen and Kohler-Cadmore were dismissed a few balls after reaching modest landmarks pitted with fine strokes, only Leach went on play a more major innings. Indeed, the No. 8 was ninth out, caught by Vikram Solanki in the gully bat and pad off Batty, for a carefully-constructed 70.Leach, who was dropped on nought when a chance off Meaker eluded Zafar Anasri at third slip, was responsible for more than doubling the Worcestershire score from 133 for 6, when Ben Cox edged Meaker just after lunch, to 272 for 8, when the cheerfully obdurate Jack Shantry could only fend a vicious bouncer from Meaker to Jason Roy at silly point. By then, though, Shantry had added 44 runs in 24 overs with Leach and he had also been received a meaty whack on the helmet from the bowler who dismissed him.Shantry’s good work followed a seventh-wicket stand of 95 in just over 22 overs between Leach and Kohler-Cadmore which offered Worcestershire’s loyal supporters their pleasantest viewing of the day. As the pair competed with each other to play the most sweetly-timed drive, the public address announcer contributed to the mood: “Tea is served in the Ladies’ Pavilion,” he informed the crowd, thus prompting the rapid growth of the most civilised queue since the 2012 Vermeer show at the Fitzwilliam.From the steps of the tea-room the panama’d ravenous applauded Kohler-Cadmore and Leach’s fifties, which were brought up within six balls of each other. However, Kohler-Cadmore, who was playing schools cricket for Malvern only last summer, turned left-arm spinner Ansari into Burns’ hands at short leg only three overs later and it was left to Leach to help secure a second batting bonus point.Worcestershire lost their last three wickets for no runs in five balls and their modest effort seems 50 or more runs short of par on this wicket. Indeed, a total of 272 was put into context by the eventless first-wicket partnership of 59 in 17 overs between Burns and Ansari, eventless, that is, unless one includes some stock in trade nudges and deflections that ensured the scoreboard was kept ticking over without risk.The pair will be there on the second day, too, when Surrey’s slim hopes of promotion may be advanced. Either way, there is likely to be a few more fraught days before Worcestershire discover what rewards their season’s work will garner.The day featured one other noteworthy event, well, three of them, actually. When Moeen went out to bat, when he returned to the pavilion, bowled by Dunn after making a 73-ball 54 and when he came on to bowl, the England allrounder was very warmly applauded by a crowd who, while it hardly knew how to respond to Saeed Ajmal’s ban, had no doubt how it would welcome home one of its favourite players. The ovation was prolonged and heartfelt. It was truly something this fine cricketer could take as a compliment.

Jerome Taylor’s economical spell ensured the Barbados Tridents couldn’t overhaul the Jamaica Tallawahs total of 147 for 9 in a 19-run win for the defending CPL champions in Kingston

Scorecard and ball-by-ball details
Jerome Taylor’s economical spell ensured the Barbados Tridents couldn’t overhaul the Jamaica Tallawahs total of 147 for 9 in a 19-run win for the defending CPL champions in Kingston. Man-of-the-Match Taylor had figures of 3-0-3-2 entering the final over with 28 needed to win for the Tridents but only a single was scored off the first two balls to clinch a victory for the Tallawahs as Taylor ended with 2 for 11 from four overs.It was a hard fought win for the Tallawahs, who were sent in to bat by Tridents captain Kieron Pollard. Chadwick Walton got the Tallawahs off to a strong start with 25 before he was pinned on the crease by Ravi Rampaul three balls into the sixth to make it 35 for 1. Chris Gayle and Owais Shah calmly added 79 for the second wicket across the next 10 overs with Shah doing much of the work as the English import top-scored for the Tallawahs with 42. Having opened with Walton, Gayle evidenced the difficulty to score on the Sabina Park track as he began the 16th over on just 25 and was eventually dismissed for 39 off 38 balls.Rampaul came back in a late spell that resulted in three more wickets as no one beyond the Tallawahs top three made it into double-digits. Rayad Emrit also did well restricting the Tallawahs at the death, taking three wickets in the last three overs as the Tallawahs slipped from 114 for 1 to finish on 147 for 8.The Tridents chase was hurt by the departure of the explosive Dwayne Smith off the last ball of the first over for 4, gliding a late cut to Taylor at short third man in the ring to give Dave Bernard his first wicket. From there the Tridents took a cautious approach with opener Shane Dowrich ending the power play on 9 off 22 balls. He fell three balls later, giving a flat-footed swish to a length ball from Bernard that was easily pouched by Walton behind the stumps to make it 27 for 3.Shoaib Malik played the innings of the match at the opposite end but was unable to get any support. In the end, his unbeaten 81 off 43 balls represented 63 percent of the Tridents runs. The next best efforts came from Dowrich and McKenzie who scored nine apiece.The Tridents best chance for victory was for Pollard to stick around with Malik, but he fell for 6 at the start of the 16th, top-edging an attempted hook off Andre Russell to Taylor running in from the third man rope to make it 79 for 5. Malik gave the Tridents hope in the 17th when he thumped Rusty Theron for four to bring up his half-century in 29 balls and then hit back-to-back sixes over wide long-on as part of a 19-run frame to leave the Tridents needing 39 off 18 balls to win.The Tallawahs took back momentum at the start of the 17th when Jason Holder fell to Taylor, mistiming a lofted drive to the cover sweeper for 7. New batsman Akeal Hosein struggled to get Malik back on strike in an over that netted just one run. The pressure grew on Malik with 38 needed from 12 and he signaled his intentions to try winning the match by himself after turning down a single to long-on off the first ball of the 19th. He was able to hit a six off the third ball, but nothing else went to the boundary and Taylor sealed the win at the start of the 20th as the Tridents eventually ended on 128 for 6.

Brendan Taylor’s anger with himself was splattered all over his face as his under-arm throw missed the stumps. It was the last ball of Zimbabwe’s first World T20 qualifier against Ireland and the Zimbabwe captain’s wide throw gave the opposition the game.His eyes darkened and his face reddened, almost to the colour of his shirt, as he saw Stuart Thompson crash into Tinashe Panyangara and Alex Cusack sprint to the other end. Taylor’s expression said he knew the chance to take the game to a Super Over had been handed to him and he knew he gave it away.He did well not to yell at himself when he was asked about it, even though he took the blame. “I had a good feeling that it was going to be a Super over but it was not to be,” Taylor said.His anger with the rest of his team was a little more well-hidden. Taylor was irritable with them for putting themselves in a situation where they needed a Super Over and it lasted a little longer than his annoyance with himself.Taylor was concerned with his team’s performance from the half-time break when he declared their total, “20 runs short.” His bowlers ensured Zimbabwe were lacking by much fewer than that and could have made 163 enough but after their valiant efforts in the last six overs, Taylor was still upset the batsmen hadn’t done enough.”To defend 160, it was always going to be difficult. But, we showed some character to bring it back,” he said. “With guys getting out for 15 or 20, it was always going to be tough to rebuild with the new batter coming in.”He asked them to place more value on their time in the middle to avoid giving themselves too much to do in the latter overs. “They need to put a high price on their wickets and have to step up. There is no point leaving it for the next man coming in because he takes five to six balls to get going, so the game stop-starts,” Taylor said.Zimbabwe’s scoring rate started healthily with 56 runs coming in the Powerplay but they stagnated against Ireland’s spinners. In frustration, they tried to hit out and Sikandar Raza, Hamilton Masakadza, Taylor himself and Vusi Sibanda were all caught aiming to go big, something Taylor was not happy about. “Batters were a bit soft with their dismissals,” he said. “Mentally, we need to toughen up little bit. If you get yourself in, you need to kick on or else you are making it difficult for the team.”In the end, it was up to the finisher Elton Chigumbura to do just that. He also left it late, waiting until the last over to lash out but showing the temperament to bat longer. Despite that, Taylor said he will not be tempted to move Chigumbura up the order.”I genuinely believe that the guys who bat in top four can hit the ball very hard and can make it really difficult for the bowlers,” Taylor said. “If someone in the top four bats through, we will have a competitive total.”Zimbabwe will need to do more than just compete if they hope to play in the main draw of the tournament. They have to win both their remaining matches and hope Ireland slip up along the way. At least they have now had enough of a look at the conditions at the new Sylhet stadium – hosting its first international – to know what to expect for the rest of the week.Taylor had summed up the surface as being “a bit slower for the spinners in the afternoon,” but offered something for everyone throughout the encounter. “It (the ball) got a bit greasier under lights but the ball started swinging too. We found we were in the game all the time.”Taylor described the venue as a “lovely stadium,” and he and his team enjoyed what was a “great opportunity to play here.” At least that was something he did not have to get angry about.

Vijay Zol, the Maharashtra batsman and India Under-19 captain, will be available for his side’s Ranji Trophy final against Karnataka, which begins in Hyderabad on January 29. The BCCI had earlier asked Zol to skip the final in order to train with the Under-19 team at the preparatory camp ahead of the upcoming Under-19 World Cup in the UAE.The BCCI had given Zol permission to play only the semi-final against Bengal but the Maharashtra Cricket Association requested the board to release the young batsman for the final. Surendra Bhave, the Maharashtra coach, said the board had accepted the association’s request and Zol is likely to join the team in Hyderabad on January 27.Zol said he considered himself “fortunate” to play in the final. “I am fortunate to have been able to play a Ranji final in my maiden first-class season,” he said. “I will try to help my team regain the coveted title and thus prepare for the big-match scenarios just before the U-19 World Cup.”Zol, who scored an unbeaten double-hundred on his Ranji debut in Maharashtra’s season-opener, missed their last two league matches due to the U-19 Asia Cup in the UAE. However, he made a vital 91 in the quarter-final against Mumbai, helping Maharashtra beat the defending champions by eight wickets. In eight matches for Maharashtra this season, Zol has scored 517 runs at an average of 51.70.

A round-up of the third day’s play of the seventh-round Group C games of the Ranji Trophy, 2013-14

ScorecardJammu & Kashmir stretched their score from their overnight 294 for 5 to 427 with a hundred from ID Singh to take their first-innings lead to 164. Their bowlers also took down six Assam batsmen by the end of the third day in Jammu as the visitors still trail by eight runs.J&K lost Samiullah Beigh in the third over of the day but ID Singh batted with the tail to score his eighth first-class hundred, moving from 94 to 170 in the company of Ram Dayal (16) and Manzoor Dar. Arup Das took three of the five wickets to finish with 5 for 79. Dar had retired hurt on the second day and came back to bat on the third day and was the last wicket to fall for a patient 23.J&K struck early to remove Abhijit Roy for a duck before Rishav Das and Amit Sinha took them to 50. But both were dismissed for 27 as Assam lost four wickets for 25 runs to reach 75 for 5. Dayal and Beigh took two wickets each out of those four but Gokul Sharma was unbeaten till stumps on 32 even though he lost Jamaluddin Mohammad. Gokul and Abu Nechim, who scored nearly a run-a-ball 32, took the score to 156 for 6.
ScorecardNikhil Gangta’s maiden hundred saved Himachal Pradesh from facing a follow-on•ESPNcricinfo LtdDP Vijaykumar and GVS Prasad restricted Himachal Pradesh to 305 to take a first-innings lead despite a maiden hundred from Nikhil Gangta and a fighting fifty from Vikramjeet Malik.HP were 24 for 3 overnight and soon became 84 for 5 as Vijaykumar and Prasad dismissed Jarnail Singh and Vishal Bhatia for low double-digit scores. No. 6 Gangta scored briskly from there but hardly got any support until the eighth wicket fell as HP lost Rishi Dhawan (19) and Bipul Sharma (25) to Prasad, and Aatish Bhalaik was run-out for 6, to leave the score at 152 for 8. Malik then gave able support to a well-set Gangta and the duo exactly doubled the score from 152 to 304. Gangta fell for 115 to become Vijaykumar’s fourth wicket and the innings ended when Malik was run-out for a career-best 83 off 94, which included eight fours and five sixes.Andhra finished the day on 39 for 1, with a lead of 151, after losing Srikar Bharat’s wicket for 9, when he was trapped lbw by Dhawan.
ScorecardMedium-pacer Ravi Kiran struck three crucial blows to leave Goa at 273 for 5 as they trailed by 241 runs at the end of the third day in Porvorim.In reply to Hyderabad’s 514 for 6, Goa started the day on 9 for 0 and lost Swapnil Asnodkar and Sagun Kamat in the first eight overs of the day. Amogh Desai and Rohit Asnodkar put on a stand of 105 for the third wicket, before Desai fell for 71 to Ravi Kiran. Rohit was accompanied by Keenan Vaz as he scored his second first-class hundred and took the team past 250. But Ravi Kiran broke the stand and dismissed both the established batsmen in consecutive overs to reduce Goa from 254 for 3 to 273 for 5.
ScorecardHalf-centuries from Nikhilesh Surendran, Sanju Samson and Sachin Baby put Kerala in a strong position as they ended the day with a lead of 143, with six wickets in hand.Kerala were trailing by 140 runs when they resumed on 23 for 0 but opener VA Jagadeesh fell soon for 23. Surendran and Samson brought up a strong stand of 156 but Samson’s run-out for 66 ended the partnership. Surendran also fell two overs later, falling short of a hundred by 17 runs. With the wicket of Rohan Prem for 14, Kerala became 225 for 4 before Baby (54*) and Robert Fernandez (29 off 116) steered them till stumps with a partnership of 81.

Com emoção de sobra, o Flamengo garantiu sua classificação na decisão da Taça Rio vencendo o Fluminense por 2 a 1, com gol de Everton Ribeiro nos acréscimos. O Tricolor, que tinha a vantagem do empate, atuou na etapa final com um jogador a mais, saiu atrás e deixou o jogo reclamando da arbitragem.

O juiz Marcelo de Lima Henrique e o VAR acabaram sendo protagonistas de um clássico muito pegado. O LANCE! separou os destaques do clássico desta quarta-feira, no Maracanã. O Fla, agora, espera o vencedor de Vasco e Bangu.

POLÊMICAS PARA OS DOIS LADOS!

O VAR entrou em ação no clássico e sobrou polêmica. No fim, Flamengo e Fluminense deixaram o gramado com reclamações a fazer. O Tricolor foi quem ficou insatisfeito com a utilização do árbitro de vídeo na primeira etapa. Marcelo de Lima Henrique anulou o gol de Léo Santos após consultar a TV e assinalar falta em cima de Rodrigo Caio. Foram cinco minutos de paralisação.

Depois do intervalo, foi a vez do Flamengo questionar as decisões da arbitragem. Após consultar o VAR, Marcelo de Lima Henrique voltou atrás e marcou pênalti de Léo Duarte em cima de Everaldo. Yoni González cobrou e empatou. O time da Gávea também pediu pênalti em dois lances em a bola tocou na mão ou braço dos tricolores. O juiz não consultou o vídeo nos lances.

AH, BRUNO HENRIQUE…

O Flamengo entrou em campo em desvantagem, fez bom primeiro tempo e, com Renê, abriu o placar aos 29 minutos. O Rubro-Negro ia para o intervalo tranquilo, sem Diego Alves trabalhar, mas, em um lance infeliz do atacante, Bruno Henrique fez falta dura e recebeu o cartão vermelho direto, prejudicando o time, que teve que adotar nova estratégia na etapa final.

O camisa 27 deixou o clássico com uma assistência para gol, um desarme, 60% de aproveitamento nos passes, duas perdas de posse de bola, duas faltas cometidas e duas faltas recebidas, além de um cartão amarelo e um cartão vermelho.

MUITA CONFUSÃO E DISCUSSÃO!

Na véspera do Fla-Flu, o meia Diego disse que esperava um clássico mais jogado e menos pegado que o do último domingo. Contudo, não foi o que se viu no Maracanã. Os jogadores discutiram e teve confusão até o apito final.

Foram 32 faltas, 11 cartões amarelos (cinco para o Fluminense, seis para o Flamengo) e dois vermelhos – para Bruno Henrique e Paulo Henrique Ganso.

LIÇÕES DO PASSADO

Em fevereiro, na semifinal da Taça Guanabara, o Flamengo tinha a vantagem do empate, mas acabou derrotado por 1 a 0 pelo Fluminense, com gol de Luciano nos acréscimos, e foi eliminado. O jogo – a única derrota do ano – ficou marcado pelo domínio do Tricolor, que teve a posse de bola e impôs seu ritmo ao Fla.

Nesta quarta, o cenário foi diferente. O Rubro-Negro, enquanto teve 11 jogadores em campo, teve o controle de jogo e procurou dividir a posse de bola, tanto que o time de Fernando Diniz não finalizou certo na primeira etapa. Com a expulsão de Bruno Henrique, Abel Braga mudou a estratégia no segundo tempo, mas o time da Gávea não sofreu grande pressão na partida.

O GOL DO ALÍVIO E DA FESTA!

Aos 48 minutos da etapa final, Marcelo de Lima Henrique voltou a aparecer. Desta vez, sem o VAR, o árbitro marcou pênalti para o Flamengo em lance envolvendo o jovem Lucas Silva, que foi empurrado pelo zagueiro Léo Santos.

Passadas as reclamações do Fluminense, Everton Ribeiro cobrou com categoria e fez 2 a 1 para o Flamengo, garantindo o Rubro-Negro na decisão da Taça Rio.

Dawid Malan hit splendid 96 off 88 balls to revive his own dismal form and keep Middlesex’s hopes alive in the Yorkshire Bank 40 as Eoin Morgan made a golden duck on his return to county cricket in a six-wicket win over Yorkshire at Radlett.Yorkshire’s third defeat in four games, which probably ended their hopes of achieving the knockout stage, featured a pugnacious 81 from Phil Jaques but cheap top-order wickets left the total well short of daunting on a sound pitch and slick cambered outfield.Thanks to Malan and wicketkeeper Adam Rossington, with his first one-day half-century, Middlesex passed Yorkshire’s total of 236 with more than four overs to spare. Their fourth-wicket stand of 135 at more than seven runs an over destroyed the Yorkshire back-up bowling.Defeat for Middlesex would have ended any chance of success in this year’s competition after two defeats in their two earlier games. So it was an exciting way to mark a first competitive appearance at their new training base in Hertfordshire, on Watling Street a few miles north of London.Yorkshire owed much to Jaques’s 86-ball knock and a late flurry from Adil Rashid, who made 46 not out from 36 balls, but Malan’s fierce driving put the home side in charge after a shaky start.Malan had endured a barren season in the County Championship, averaging 14.25 in eight innings, and had made little impact on the one-day format until his exhuberant strokeplay at Radlett.Middlesex started shakily in their pursuit of victory as Iain Wardlaw unsettled Paul Stirling with a slow looping full toss with the first ball of the innings and then blasted out off and middle stumps with the second ball.Joe Denly followed after a breezy 38, bowled pushing forward to Richard Pyrah, and then came what might have been the defining moment – the dismissal of Eoin Morgan first ball.Morgan, Middlesex’s most potent threat, had returned fresh from the Indian Premier League and a recent glut of exotic locations and flamboyant shots must have affected his judgement because he tried an instant reverse sweep to leg-spinner Rashid and was given out lbw.Morgan claimed afterwards that he had made contact with the bat but an orthodox stroke should have sufficed with less risk.His blunder seemed to swing the pendulum towards Yorkshire, but fortunately Malan and Rossington seized the initiative with sensible aggression, keeping the percentages firmly in their favour.Malan snicked Tim Bresnan just short of a well-deserved century with the match all but won but Rossington, a heavy scorer on this ground in Middlesex second-team games, continued in style and finished undefeated with 79 off 72 balls.
