How the match went

Novorizontino dominated the game and created the best scoring opportunities. Their superiority was especially evident in the first half, when the home team hit the crossbar and forced goalkeeper Adryel to make some great saves.

The São Paulo side kept pressing Athletic in the second half, but still lacked precision. The best chance came in the 36th minute. In a rehearsed corner play, Tavinho received the ball low at the edge of the box and shot first-time, but Adryel parried it to the side, preventing the goal.

Then, at the 46th minute, the hosts finally scored the decisive goal. After a good play down the right wing, Rodrigo Soares crossed to the far post for Óscar Ruiz, who headed it in to secure Novorizontino’s victory. To make matters worse for the visitors, defender Alex was shown a straight red card, leaving Athletic with one man down.
