In a thrilling encounter between Criciuma EC and Paysandu PA, the away side emerged victorious with a 4-2 win over the hosts. The match was characterized by strategic mastery from Paysandu, who capitalized on key moments despite both teams registering an equal number of corner kicks and offsides, with five and two respectively. Criciuma's defensive frailties were clearly exposed, especially when playing a man down, following a red card in the intensity of the match, which proved costly.

The first half was a testament to an explosive attacking display by both teams, with Paysandu taking the lead first and later in the half, given Criciuma's persistence resulting in equalizing twice. Crucially, Paysandu's third goal right at the close of the first half significantly shifted the momentum. Criciuma's defense struggled to contain Paysandu's efficient forward line, highlighted by the undone resilience factor down the left flank, giving Paysandu their third and fourth strikes. The lack of yellow cards on both sides indicated a fast-paced game with minimal interruptions, allowing Paysandu to execute their strategy smoothly without disciplinary disruptions.

In the second half, Paysandu's solid teamwork and strategic substitutions amplified their attack potency, leading to two decisive goals. Criciuma's inability to adapt defensively in the absence of a full lineup contributed significantly to their downfall. The effectiveness of Paysandu's attacking pressure pressed beyond mere counters, which Criciuma couldn’t neutralize effectively. Although with an aesthetically equal number of fouls committed by both teams, the tactical execution by Paysandu managed to tilt the scales in their favor, highlighting their superior match management skills.
