Player to watch: Yago Pikachu
While Fortaleza had a slender lead heading into stoppage time in the reverse fixture, Yago Pikachu found the net, ensuring his team would go home with all the spoils.
The 31-year-old has impressed at this tournament so far, scoring four goals in five appearances. However, he has gone through a rough patch lately, with no goals in his last eight matches. Can Pikachu get back to scoring ways against Trinidense?
