Duas partidas abrem nesta quinta-feira (22) a terceira rodada da fase de classificação do Campeonato Acreano Sub-11, no Estádio Florestinha, em Rio Branco, e o primeiro duelo coloca frente a frente o único time que ainda não perdeu no Grupo 1 e um adversário que segue sem vencer.
O Santa Cruz-AC lidera a chave com seis pontos e campanha perfeita. Do outro lado estará a Escolinha Xavier Maia, dona da penúltima colocação, com um ponto somado na campanha. A bola rola às 15h.
Na sequência, a partir das 16h, a Chapecoense-AC, de Porto Acre, tenta escapar da lanterna — soma um ponto — diante do CT da Baixada, vice-líder com três pontos e campanha superior até aqui.
A rodada mexe com as duas pontas da tabela ao mesmo tempo: o líder quer preservar a série sem derrotas, enquanto os dois clubes que ainda não comemoraram vitória dividem o mesmo gramado em busca de recuperação.
