Juventude wins with Gilberto as hero, controversial VAR leaves Sport in agony

The result ended an eight-game losing streak for Juventude . The team had lost six games and drawn two. Their last win came on April 12th, against Ceará.

Juventude reached 11 points and jumped from 19th to 17th place . The team has the same number of points as Santos, but remains in the Z4 due to a worse goal difference (-14 to -3).

Sport sank even further into last place in the Brasileirão . The Pernambuco team, which has yet to win in the tournament, remains with just three points, eight behind Santos, the first team outside the Z4, and is dying in the competition.

Both teams return to action on Sunday . Juventude faces Cruzeiro away at 4 p.m. (Brasília time). Sport hosts Botafogo at 5:30 p.m. The matches are part of the 15th round of the Brasileirão. The 14th-round matches against Vasco and Atlético-MG, respectively, were postponed because the Rio and Minas Gerais teams will be competing in the Copa Sudamericana playoffs midweek.

How was the game?

Juventude were lethal and finished the first half winning . At home, the Caxias do Sul team had more possession early on and took the lead from an aerial play, their only good chance. Trailing on the scoreboard, Sport launched an attack and circled the opponent's box, but were thwarted by goalkeeper Gustavo's save and poor finishing.
