In their Serie B clash, Chapecoense SC managed a narrow 2-1 victory over Associacao Ferroviaria de Esportes, showcasing a balanced yet effective approach. The home team capitalized on early momentum with their first goal coming in the 28th minute, setting an assertive tone for the match. Despite fewer offensive set-pieces, as evidenced by their single corner kick, Chapecoense maintained a high conversion rate with the opportunities they created.

Conversely, Ferroviaria's reliance on set-pieces was apparent, generating six corner kicks compared to Chapecoense's one. However, their inability to convert these set-pieces into goals significantly impacted their success in this fixture. While they found the back of the net once in the 82nd minute, it proved too little too late as Chapecoense had already secured a two-goal lead by then. Ferroviaria's four offsides highlight a lack of cohesion in their attacking line, often getting caught in offside traps, which curtailed their forward momentum.

Defensively, Chapecoense displayed discipline, especially in containing Ferroviaria's attacks, conceding only once despite their opponent's higher offensive efforts. The defensive resilience was complemented by their ability to keep a clean disciplinary record, with only two yellow cards distributed throughout the match. Ferroviaria's single yellow card indicates controlled aggression but was insufficient to alter the match's outcome. Chapecoense's strategic substitutions presumably bolstered their defense and retained their lead, ensuring they secured all three points in this encounter.
