With the score 2-0, Macaca moves away from Z4 and sinks the defeated Santa Catarina team
Ponte Preta beat Brusque 2-0 on Wednesday evening (23rd), at the Moisés Lucarelli Stadium, in the 33rd matchday of the Serie B of the Brazilian Championship. The goals of the match came from Gabriel Novaes and Renato, both in the second half.
With the important victory the Juventus team leaves the relegation zone and now occupies 13th place, with 38 points. However, Brusque remains stationary, in 18th place, with 33. The team can still be overtaken in the group.
The game
The match starts intensely, with both teams trying to attack. The first clear scoring opportunities came from the guests. In the 4th minute, Diego Tavares risks a cross and goalkeeper Luan saves by stretching, with the ball going over the goal. Six minutes later, Tavares finishes again, the goalkeeper saves and, on the rebound, Guilherme Queiroz shoots out.
Macaca had good opportunities from set pieces. In the 20th minute, from a corner, Joilson heads the ball and the ball touches Matheus Nogueira’s goal. In the 39th minute, Wallace prevented what could have been the first goal of the match after an action by Gabriel Novaes and Iago Dias.
The goals came in the second half. In the 10th minute, a shot found Gabriel Novaes free at the far post, and he headed it towards goal. Matheus Nogueira still tried to defend himself, but was unable to avoid it. At 38, the home team extends their lead. Élvis plays a pass to Renato inside the area, the attacker beats the goalkeeper and ends up scoring the second goal.
Now, for the 34th round of Season Two, Ponte Preta will visit Mirassol this Saturday (26th), at 5pm (Brasilia time), in Campos Maia. Later on Tuesday, Brusque hosts Chapecoense, at 7pm, at the Augusto Bauer Stadium.
