White
Collar Revolution were up next as they took
on Pangere FC Brasileiros in what was looking
like a very tough group. The French team came
into this game with 1 point on the board, the
Brazilians had the maximum 3.
Pangere
were the winners here in 2017 and came close
to a second title in the 2019 tournament. They
produced 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat on their
way to a second placed finish in the group.
Their goal difference was impressive with 17
goals scored and just 2 conceded. They met Group
A winners PMPCAR in the Cup Semi-Final and produced
a stunning 3-1 victory. In the Cup Final they
met Indoorsoccer Café O Trem who had
defeated them 1-0 in the group phase. There
was nothing between the teams in the final as
it ended in a 0-0 stalemate. Pangare Futebol
Clube missed out on a second title via a penalty
shoot-out.
With
that opening game win they could have been dreaming
of a second title but they were brought down
to earth when Pierre Bourgois put White Collar
Revolution 1-0 up. It was a lead they held until
the second period of the game but Pangere Brasileiros
finished strongly. Jose Matheus Rocha Dos Schoa
equalized before Pedro (not the Barcelona/Chelsea
one) put them 2-1 up. Jose Matheus Rocha Dos
Schoa then sealed a 3-1 win.
Pangere
Brasileiros FC were our early leaders in Group
D.
