During the week, prior to the match between Sporting Cristal and Emelec that took place in Ecuador for the second leg of the Copa Sudamericana playoffs, a discussion between Brenner Marlos and Joao Grimaldo was observed. For this reason, many people thought that the celestial forwards were completely at odds.

However, after the tie between Cristal and Melgar in Arequipa, with a goal from Joao Grimaldo at minute 73 of the second half, Brenner Marlos spoke out with a blunt message on his social media, clarifying the rumor that had been circulating in recent days. What did he say?

"And they said we were fighting," the Brazilian posted on his official Instagram account alongside a heart and laughing emojis, accompanied by a photo of the two forwards from the same team hugging. Immediately, Joao Grimaldo responded with these words: "Forward, brother."

Thus it is confirmed that the atmosphere between the attackers of Sporting Cristal is going very well and both are fully focused on the main objective, which is to be the champion of the Torneo Clausura and subsequently try to win the Liga 1 title.
