Ceará Sporting Club faced Botafogo/SP on Saturday, 20, at Presidente Vargas Stadium, for the 14th round of the Brazilian Championship Series B. The Time do Povo started well, with João Gabriel and Júlio César creating scoring chances. At 36 minutes, João Gabriel received a pass at the entrance of the area, dominated and kicked with his leg, seeking the angle, but the ball passed, grazing the post. At 39 minutes, Júlio César finished from outside the area on the right side of the goal defended by Victor Souza. However, Botafogo/SP managed to score the winning goal at 32 minutes of the 2nd half, with Rafael Gava taking a free kick. As the game neared its end, Eder tied the match, but the VAR disallowed the play due to a handball by the alvinegro player and the field referee followed the VAR's decision. Ceará Sporting Club returns to the field next Sunday, 28, at 11am, against Juventude, at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in Caxias do Sul. Coach Anderson Batatais is likely to make some changes to the lineup, seeking to improve the team's performance. But the Time do Povo needs to recover quickly, as the competition is getting fiercer. So Ceará Sporting Club can stay in the title fight. The team has important players, like João Gabriel and Júlio César, who can make a difference in the next games. Ceará Sporting Club also has a strong squad, with players like Eder, Luizão and Fernando, who can contribute to the team's recovery.
