Novorizontino seeks a draw with Coritiba and remains at the top of Serie B


In a tough match, each team scores two goals and finds themselves tied in Couto Pereira, for the 25th round of the national competition




In an electrifying and very well played match, in Couto Pereira, Novorizontino managed to draw 2-2 against Coritiba and remained at the top of the Brazilian Championship B Series, with 44 points. Júnior Brumado, twice, Thallison Gabriel (own goal) and Neto Pessoa, scored the goals of the match. The Paraná team has 34 points, in tenth place.

In the next round, the São Paulo team will host Botafogo-SP, at Jorge Ismael de Biasi, on the 13th (Friday), at 19:00 (Brasilia time). Coxa, in turn, will face Operário-PR, on Sunday (15), at 16:00 (Brasilia time), at Germano Krüguer.

Arrival of the Tiger

At home, Coritiba was playing, but Novorizontino came to the duel as the leader of the Série B in the Brasileirão and quickly got scared. Rodolfo crossed for Waguininho, who shot into the corner and forced the Verdão goalkeeper to make a good save.

Misty Stamp

Although the first chance was for São Paulo, it was the Alto da Glória club that opened the scoring. Thus, after the corner, Júnior Brumado held the ball in the six-yard box and filled the net.

The ray trembles

In another nice arrival from Novorizontino, Patrick takes advantage of the cross into the box and heads the ball away. She, instead, gently touched the beam and went out. With a quick response, the home team launched an attack on the right. Natanael finds Brumado, who turns towards the defender and shoots dangerously wide.

The guests equalize

Even away from home, Tigre had personality and in the first half balanced the game. Rodrigo Soares then went to the top corner and found Neto Pessoa. The number 9 only had to dodge to deceive Morisco and leave everything the same.

Inspired Sunday

Coritiba came back with everything in the second half and had some chances. So the first one is with Ronier who shoots from outside the area for a nice save by Jordi. Then Vini Paulista dropped the bomb and forced the archer to remove the danger again.

Then Bruno Melo appeared on the left with enough freedom to cross, enough for Júnior Brumado to leave one more and give Coxa the lead.

Against the heritage

Novorizontino continues to look for the equalizer, but stops Morisco twice, author of two good saves. At the third attempt, however, Rodrigo Soares enters the area, but Thalisson Gabriel sends it against his own goal and leaves everything the same for Couto Pereira.

Goalkeepers stand out

Both Jordi and Morisco were important in the final stages of the match, with good defenses to secure at least one point in the match. Finally, the result was positive for the teams, who showed that they wanted to fight until the final stages to access.
