Wellerson Gomes / Ceará SC

Ceará earned an important result this Sunday, the 26th, by coming from behind to beat São Bernardo 4-3, with goals from Nico Ferreira, Vina, João Gabriel, and Enzo Lodovico. The win lifted Vozão out of the Série B relegation zone and ended a seven-match winless streak.

After the match, Daniel Paulista praised Alvinegro de Porangabuçu’s victory and highlighted Ceará’s second-half performance against São Bernardo, emphasizing the change in attitude after halftime and the team’s competitive spirit. In addition, the black-and-white coach pointed out the importance of the result for the fans.

"The feeling is extremely rewarding, not only for the coaching staff and the board, but for all the players and, above all, for our fans. It is a significant victory, maybe not because of the team’s performance, as we still have a long way to go, with many adjustments and situations to correct. But the most important thing today was the win. And it was a hard-fought, hard-earned win, achieved in a way that the team never gave up. We were not able to be aggressive in the first half and suffered a lot because of that, ending up going into halftime behind, but when we came back for the second half, the team returned with a much more aggressive and competitive approach, and that reflected what was seen throughout the entire second half. Ceará pushed forward and went after the result. Ceará was competitive and showed quality and some positive things," said Daniel Paulista.

During the post-match press conference, the coach also highlighted the team’s room for improvement, emphasizing that Ceará is making changes in the middle of the Brazilian Série B campaign. This Sunday’s result, however, serves as fuel for the Club to build confidence and seek more victories in the national competition.
