Athletico secured the ranking for the fourth finals of the Brazilian Cup, but left the 90 minutes with another defeat. The setback is the fourth consecutive season, the worst sequel in the season for Paulo Turra's team.
In another bad Hurricane game, without presenting any offensive repertoire and once again faults in the defensive sector. In the last 10 games, Hurricane suffered 15 and scored 15 goals in 5 defeats and 5 wins.
Athletic's last victory was just against the Botafogo in the one-way game at the Arena da Baixada, 3-2. The last triumph in which Hurricane did not have to reverse the score was against the International, when he won 2–0 at Beira-Rio for the Brazilian Championship.
The current sequence of defeats is the first time in 2023 that Athletico maintains any sequence of defeats, before that, Hurricane had never lost two consecutive games under the command of Paulo Turra, who is increasingly under pressure as coach of the team.
Because I'm a younger coach, I'm paying a price. What I ask the crowd is a credit of trust, even though I'm young, I wake up every day early, I get to the CT early, I leave late. I work very closely with every technical committee, staff, support group and one thing you can be sure, what we're doing at the club is a very good job.

The next opportunity for recovery for Athletic will be on Saturday (3), again against the Botafogo, this time for the Brazilian Championship in the Arena da Baixada.
