Match in Five Sentences: RB Bragantino beat Chapecoense 2-1 at Arena Condá. Yannick Bolasie put the hosts ahead in the 23rd minute with a close-range header from Bruno Pacheco's nodded pass. After a VAR review resulted in no red card for Cauê Santos (31.), Gabriel levelled with a header (41.) before substitute Gustavinho set up Lucas Barbosa for the winner (73.). Chape carried the threat but lacked precision, registering 19 attempts to Braga's seven and only three on target despite 55.2% possession. Massa Bruta rise from eighth to seventh and visit Blooming in the Sudamericana next, while Verdão do Oeste travel to Mirassol in the league.

Player of the Match: Lucas Barbosa decided the contest with the second goal and drove Braga's right flank, completing three successful dribbles and winning possession seven times.
