As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
The manager S. Nicoladelli will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to ASSU in only three days.

Santa Cruz de Natal RN form and stats
Things could have gone better for Santa Cruz de Natal RN in their Potiguar away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right. It's looking increasingly bleak for Santa who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Potiguar Mossoro was the last time a defeat was avoided. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Santa are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Home advantage was not enough for Santa Cruz de Natal RN in their previous game, as they lost their Potiguar-match, hosting Globo, 1-2. Preceding that game, the 2-3 loss visiting ASSU's place.
Late heartbreak for Santa in the Globo match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime.
A new game in only three days for Santa, the Potiguar home match versus Palmeira. Busy days.
