Itabaiana defeated Brusque 1-0Credits: Disclosure / Itabaiana

Two matches completed the 14th round of Brazil’s Serie C Championship this Monday (13). In Sergipe, Itabaiana, now in 17th place, beat second-place Brusque 1-0 and prevented the Santa Catarina side from reclaiming first place.

Meanwhile, at Orlando Scarpelli, Figueirense, in 16th with 17 points, and Volta Redonda, in 13th with 18, played out a goalless draw.

Serie C sends the eight highest-scoring teams at the end of the first and second halves of the season to the second phase. As things stand today, those teams would be, in order, Inter de Limeira (25), Brusque (24), Santa Cruz (24), Paysandu (23), Guarani (23), Botafogo-PB (22), Maringá (22) and Ferroviária (22).

The race for the G8, however, remains very tight, with several teams still having a chance to move into the qualification zone in the coming rounds, such as Caxias (21), Floresta (20), Ituano (19), Ypiranga (18), Volta Redonda (18), Amazonas (17), Maranhão (17), Figueirense (17), Itabaiana itself (16) and Barra (15).
