Adriano wins the first duel against Ronaldo

In the anticipated confrontation between Ronaldo and Adriano, the Emperor was victorious. With his penalty kick goal, the red-and-black from Rio won the first match against Corinthians in the eighth final round of the Libertadores cup, all under intense rain at the Maracanã stadium.

The "second half" of this battle will take place at the Pacaembu stadium, Corinthians' home turf, next Wednesday. The current Brazilian champion has the advantage of playing for a draw to advance in the competition. Even a defeat by one goal ensures classification, as long as the red-and-black scores in São Paulo.

Timão, on the other hand, has to win by two goals. A victory by the black-and-whites by 1-nil will lead to a penalty shootout. Who will classify? Give your opinion here or on our Facebook page.
