O Canaã é o novo campeão da Segunda Divisão do Candangão. A taça, inédita para o clube, veio neste sábado (31): depois de empatar por 2 x 2 no tempo normal, o time do Vento Forte bateu o Taguatinga nas penalidades por 5 x 4 e comemorou seu primeiro troféu como profissional.
O Taguatinga começou melhor e até marcou, mas o gol de Marcelo Cirino foi anulado por impedimento. Aos 10 minutos veio a abertura do placar: Geovani tabelou com Diego Xavier, que driblou dois marcadores e devolveu para ele finalizar no canto, 1 x 0.
O Canaã respondeu aos 14, em chute de Guilherme Cassita defendido com tranquilidade por Zé Lucas. Pouco depois, Thiaguinho cruzou para Mozaniel cabecear firme, à direita da meta. Aos 17, Diego Xavier recebeu de Geovani e acertou a trave.
No segundo tempo, o Taguatinga ampliou. A defesa do Canaã falhou, a bola sobrou limpa para Diego Xavier e ele marcou o segundo dele: 2 x 0. Na jogada seguinte, o mesmo Xavier serviu Dharlysson, que tocou de bico e viu o goleiro salvar.
A reação veio no fim. Aos 39, após uma mão na área que o árbitro não marcou, o Canaã saiu em velocidade e Ryan diminuiu para 2 x 1. Aos 43, Everaldo acertou um chute no ângulo e deixou o placar em 2 x 2.
Perto do fim, Israel, zagueiro do Taguatinga, foi expulso, e o time seguiu com um a menos até a decisão por pênaltis.
Na primeira cobrança, Thiago Pereira desperdiçou para o Taguatinga. Os times converteram todas as demais, e o placar final ficou em 5 x 4 para o Canaã.
