Perotti struck first for Chapecoense in the 14th minute, then Matheus Henrique Bianqui added another in the 5th minute of the first half’s stoppage time on a feed from Carlos Orejuela In the end, Novorizontino was frustrated by Chapecoense’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board.

Richard scored the first goal for CRB in the 57th minute, then Pedro Vitor tied it up for Náutico in the 78th minute Finally they completed the comback victory in the 89th minute on a goal by Ailton to cap off a wild match. CRB looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 8 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season.
CRB’s most prolific scorer has been Richard. He has netted 2 goals over the last 5 matches. Thiago Ribeiro and Jhony are the top scorers for Novorizontino in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
