LOUD came from behind to defeat Furia 6-5 in the third round of the Kings Cup Brazil in São Paulo on Monday, securing early qualification for the next phase. Furia had the lead heading into Matchball but conceded twice in the closing minutes.
Furia opened the scoring after 30 seconds through goalkeeper Clébinho, before Daniel Shiraishi equalised for LOUD. Rafinha Cunha put LOUD ahead after a corner, and Leleti Garcia levelled with a shot from outside the area. Brabox then converted the president’s penalty to restore LOUD’s lead.
In the second half, Leleti scored again to make it 2-2, and Furia president Cris Guedes converted a penalty to put his team in front. LOUD later drew level using its secret card, but Leleti completed his hat-trick to give Furia a 5-4 advantage. Lipão Pinheiro had a chance to extend the lead with a two-point penalty, but hit the post.
Filipe Viana equalised for LOUD in the 45th minute of Matchball. Keno then had a chance to win the game in a shootout, but Furia goalkeeper Esaú saved his attempt. Romarinho scored 29 seconds later to complete LOUD’s comeback and seal the 6-5 win.
The result confirmed LOUD’s place in the next phase. Furia, the team led by Neymar and Cris Guedes, suffered its second defeat of the group stage.
