The Match

Both teams struggled during the first half and much of the second. Inter de Limeira was unable to finish their plays well, while Goiatuba had trouble turning their build-up play into clear chances.

At 43 minutes into the first half, Calazans was sent off after receiving a second yellow card for a foul on Clébinho. Shortly after, following a cross into the box, Inter failed to capitalize on the free kick.

In the second half, the home team created some opportunities, but without efficiency. The scenario changed in the 28th minute: after a corner kick, the ball fell to Kaio Cristian, who shot from outside the box and opened the scoring at Limeirão, getting emotional in his celebration.

Barra-SC vs Cianorte

The match between Barra-SC and Cianorte seemed destined for penalties when, already in stoppage time of the second half, Barra scored the goal that sealed their victory. At 47 minutes into the second half, after a corner kick from Marcelo, Nathan rose in the middle of the defense to head the ball in and open the scoring for the team from Santa Catarina.

With their spot in Série C secured after this triumph, Barra will face Inter de Limeira for a place in the final of the Brasileirão Série D.
