Chapecoense vs RB Bragantino
Match Report
Red Bull Bragantino came from behind to claim a vital 2-1 win at Arena Condá on Sunday, with Lucas Barbosa sealing the comeback in a tense Brasileirão Serie A encounter.
Yannick Bolasie gave the hosts the lead at 21 minutes, converting a neat cross. Bragantino levelled just before the break when Gabriel Giroto capitalised on poor handling by goalkeeper Anderson to make it 1-1 on 40 minutes. Drama came early in the second half when VAR overturned a red card shown to Cauê Santos, reducing it to a yellow. Chapecoense pushed hard — Ênio rattled the crossbar — but Barbosa had the final say, driving home on 71 minutes after beating two defenders. Goalkeeper Tiago Volpi made crucial saves in stoppage time to preserve the win.
The result lifts Bragantino to 7th with 20 points, firmly in the top-half conversation. Chapecoense, stuck on 8 points, remain in the relegation zone and face a toughening fight to stay up.
