Match Highlights

Beyond the four scorers, the match highlighted the performance of Danilo, who, by scoring the equaliser, showed good positioning inside the area. Arthur Cabral was also decisive in extending the lead, but saw his effort quickly reversed. For Coritiba, Breno Lopes opened the scoring and Joaquín Lavega secured the point by netting the honour goal, demonstrating the team's responsiveness. There were no cards, which indicates a relatively disciplined duel.

What the Numbers Say

Although detailed statistics are not available, the score reveals a game with alternating attacks, as each team scored twice. The absence of cards suggests the contest was marked by clean play, without incidents that would generate punishments. The fact that both sides managed to find the net twice indicates a defensive balance that still leaves room for improvement.
