Sampaio Corrêa is the second finalist in the 2020 Brazilian Beach Soccer Championship. The team from the state of Maranhão won their place by playing beach soccer with a lot of unity and rapport among their players. The highlight was once again the star player Datinha, who scored 3 goals in the 8-6 victory over the Anchieta team, captained by national team legend Bruno Xavier and whose squad includes the current best player in the world, the Portuguese Jordan.
The Tricolor de Aço surprisingly took a 4-0 lead in the first period. At half-time, coach Betinho called the players together and asked for a reaction. With players of great experience, Anchieta went into the second half more focused and scored two early goals. However, they gave Sampaio room to react and scored their fifth before the bell rang.
Unable to waste any time, the Espírito Santo team went all-out in the final period. Bruno Xavier led the reaction, scoring twice and bringing the gap to just one goal, but Igor and Datinha threw a bucket of cold water on their opponents, leaving the score at 8-5. In the final seconds, Léo Martins scored Anchieta's sixth, but it was too little too late.
Bolivia Querida have won their place in the final against Vasco and promise a great encounter. The match will be broadcast LIVE on Sportv at 14:30. Anchieta face Flamengo in the third-place play-off at 13:15, also broadcast LIVE on Sportv.
