Londrina EC PR secured a 3-1 victory away to Gremio Novorizontino in Serie B. The visitors produced a decisive second-half burst to overturn a goalless first period and take all three points.

Gremio controlled the first half in terms of territory and set-piece opportunities, registering 9 corners to Londrina's 7. Londrina carried two cautions in the opening 45 minutes (00:27:43 and 00:35:07) while Gremio remained unbooked, hinting at a tighter defensive approach from the home side. The foul count favoured Londrina 12-10, reflecting a more aggressive approach that would pay dividends after the break.

Londrina struck quickly in the second half, with 0-1 at 00:47:47 and 0-2 at 00:56:54 to seize control. A third goal arrived at 01:28:06, extending the lead to 0-3 before Gremio managed a late consolation at 01:35:12.

Attacking intent from Londrina was evident in that sequence, as they converted two rapid transitions into goals and added a third before the hour mark. After halftime, Gremio's defensive organisation was breached more than once, while Londrina's discipline remained mostly intact with a single second-half yellow at 01:24:05. The home side’s higher corner count signals sustained pressure that did not translate into a second goal.

Overall, the most significant factor was Londrina's efficiency in the second half: three goals from relatively brief pressure spells swung the match. The data highlights that set-piece volume (Gremio's 9 corners) did not compensate for the visitors' clinical finishing and transition play, while Londrina's fouls and offside activity point to a proactive, high-tempo approach.
