How it happened
CRB beat Atlético Goianiense 3-1, and Lyncon carried the highest match rating on the pitch, 8.5, for a goal that doubled the lead. The sides were level at 0-0 at half-time, then the home side scored three times between the 53rd and 72nd minutes.
Diogo Hereda opened the scoring in the 53rd minute. Lyncon added the second in the 61st. Mikael converted a penalty in the 72nd to make it 3-0.

The numbers
CRB had 20 shots to 15 and put nine of them on target. Atlético Goianiense managed two on target, which made the scoreline fair on the evidence of the shooting. Expected goals read 1.92 for CRB and 1.08 for the visitors, and CRB also won the corner count, 10 to seven. Possession was almost even at 51% to 49%.
Paulo Vítor kept the margin down. The Atlético Goianiense goalkeeper made six saves and earned a match rating of 6.8.
Behind Lyncon, Hereda was rated 8.4 in his 80 minutes and created one chance with a key pass. Bressan took 87 touches, the most of the three leading performers, for a rating of 8.0.
What it means
The result matters in a crowded part of the table. Before this fixture CRB were seventh with 51 points and Atlético Goianiense sixth with 52, so the sides were separated by a single point.
CRB's last five league results read loss, win, loss, win, loss, so this was a response to an uneven run. Atlético Goianiense had won four of their previous five league games, and across their last 10 they had won six, drawn two and lost two. This defeat is a break in that pattern.
CRB have now won seven of 13 meetings between the clubs, against five for Atlético Goianiense and one draw.
