Fortaleza really were unrecognizable in this match
The team has dropped a lot in the last 3 or 5 games, I don't know how it happened, but Corinthians was very lucky to get the win away from home and probably secure qualification (or at least make it easier for the game in SP).
Why do you think Fortaleza have got so much worse?
I don't think anyone would disagree with you on that!
Fortaleza was indeed unrecognizable in that game against Corinthians, even for a team that had already been playing poorly since the defeat against Botafogo. But even so, what a disappointment in that match... so many mistakes on the field, all the players "lost" in all areas of the field and the result could not have been different: the 2-0 defeat cost them their invincibility at Arena Castelão and also their honor, in addition to putting their qualification for the next phase of the South American Cup at risk. In my opinion, 2-0 was not enough.
I believe that this defeat will "wake up" Fortaleza, but not to the point of believing in a turnaround in the second game. Although I support Fortaleza, my bet will be in favor of the "timão" in the next match.
