Part 4/7:
As the second half unfolded, Corinthians sought to extend their lead. A crucial moment arrived when Angel Romero was awarded a penalty after a handball by Rafael Ribeiro of Velo Clube. However, in a surprising turn of events, Dalton saved Romero’s shot, denying the home side a vital second goal. The contrast between the goalkeeper's alertness and Romero's hesitant execution became a focal point of discussion.
Despite a missed penalty, Corinthians maintained momentum, with numerous chances created, but they often faltered in the final execution. Bidu and others came close to adding to their tally, igniting the fervor among supporters as the match edged towards its climax.
