Já rebaixada, a Ponte Preta cumpriu o papel de estraga-prazeres na noite deste sábado (24). Diante de um Fortaleza que dominou a bola mas não conseguiu traduzir o volume em placar, o duelo terminou em 2 a 2 no Moisés Lucarelli, no interior paulista, pela 35ª rodada da segunda divisão.

O time cearense terminou com 76% de posse. Aos 22 minutos, o VAR foi chamado, revisou o lance e marcou pênalti para os visitantes; Maílton cobrou aos 25 e abriu o placar. A resposta dos donos da casa veio no fim da etapa: aos 44, Gustavo Felipe Almeida empatou após assistência de Danilo Barcelos, e aos 47 Guilherme Brandão Azevedo virou, completando passe de Gustavo Telles.

No intervalo, o técnico Paulo Autuori mexeu: aos 57, Paulo Baya entrou no lugar de Vitor Ferreira. Deu certo. Aos 65, Baya serviu Rodrigo Henrique Santos De Souza, que deixou tudo igual outra vez.

O Fortaleza seguiu pressionando e fechou o jogo com 23 finalizações contra 14 do adversário, mas o goleiro Vinicius trabalhou — seis defesas — e garantiu o ponto. O jogo teve ainda muitas faltas: quatro amarelos para a Ponte Preta e um para o Fortaleza.

Com o resultado, o Fortaleza vai a 61 pontos e sobe ao quarto lugar. A Ponte Preta, que entrou em campo com a queda já confirmada, segue na 20ª posição, com 15 pontos. Nos últimos cinco jogos, a Ponte tem dois empates e três derrotas; o Fortaleza vem de duas vitórias e três empates. Na próxima rodada, a Ponte visita o Criciúma na sexta (30) e o Fortaleza recebe o Atlético-GO na segunda-feira.
