Match Highlights

Just five minutes into the game, Coritiba had the first good chance. Pedro Rocha received the ball at the edge of the box and shot low, forcing a save from Cleiton. Ten minutes later, Bragantino had their first opportunity with a long-range shot from Lucas Barbosa.

At the 30-minute mark, Pedro Morisco mishandled the ball, and possession went to Lucas Barbosa, who was brought down by Josué in front of the area. The referee was called for a review and ended up sending off the Coritiba midfielder. From the free-kick, Gustavinho shot after a rehearsed play, resulting in a good save by goalkeeper Morisco.

Returning for the second half, at eight minutes, Pedro Henrique hit Pedro Rocha's face with his arm and was also shown a red card. However, the referee consulted the VAR and rescinded the expulsion. At 15 minutes, Juninho Capixaba received the ball on the left side of the area and shot dangerously, hitting the post of Pedro Morisco. Shortly after, Gustavinho crossed accurately for Sasha to head alone towards the goal, but Morisco managed to prevent Bragantino's goal once again.

For the remainder of the match, Bragantino had good chances with Sant’Anna, Sasha, and Mosquera, but goalkeeper Pedro Morisco was in inspired form and prevented the São Paulo team's goal. Only at 47 minutes did Capixaba take advantage of a rebound after a cross to head in and score the winning goal for Bragantino.
