What a slap on the face that 4-1 embarrassment at home by Coritiba was for Avai… In the wake of grabbing seven focuses in three recreations, their best arrangement of results in… months, including triumphs at Botafogo(!) and Gremio(!!), Avai got completely defeated by Coritiba, a group that had abandoned a win for quite a long time and weeks.
