Novorizontino managed to keep alive the dream of accessing Serie B of the Brazilian championship by winning on Friday against Londrina. In the 37th and penultimate round, the São Paulo team got the better of the Estádio do Café with a goal from Aylon in the second half and won 1-0.
The result brought Novorizontino to fifth place in the competition, with 60 points. None of the top three, who can still be surpassed by the team, did not play in this round. Therefore, if they all win this weekend, the Sao Paulo team will no longer have a chance to go up. In the last round, Friday’s winner will face Criciúma, the current runners-up, in a match that could define their access to Jorjão next Saturday at 5pm (Brasilia time).
Londrina has already entered the field relegated. The team remained in penultimate place in the standings, with 28 points. His last match of this season will also be next Saturday, at 5pm, against Botafogo-SP, at the Estádio Santa Cruz.
The game
Novorizontino came close to scoring several times in the first 45 minutes of the match. After just 2 minutes, Felipe Marques receives a cross in the area and heads it against the crossbar. The next big chance came at 26, but he again stopped at the post. Marlon throws a bomb from far away and goalkeeper Neneca blocks it, the ball touches the post before going away. In the final, in the 40th minute, Felipe Marques came out in front of the goal, but took it badly and the Londrina archer managed to make a good save to keep the score at zero until halftime.
After a lot of pressure, the visitors finally opened the scoring in the 24th minute of the second half. Londrina fails to free the ball and gives the counterattack to Novorizontino. Marlon took him to the entrance of the area and rolled towards Aylon. When the goalkeeper left, the attacker hit the ball high and blew up the net. The ball touched the crossbar before going in.
