Match Report

Red Bull Bragantino eased to a 3–1 win over Internacional in Bragança Paulista, climbing to fifth in the Brasileirão Serie A. The standout moment came inside 20 minutes: a goalkeeper howler gifted Fernando the simplest of chips after a failed clearance rebounded straight to his feet. Fernando opened the scoring on 18 minutes, and Juninho Capixaba doubled the advantage deep in first-half stoppage time (45+8'). Internacional's frustration boiled over before the break — Alan Patrick, Alerrandro, and Gabriel Mercado all collected yellows. Tiago Volpi put the game to bed from the spot on 52 minutes after a foul on Isidro Pitta, and Bruno Aguirre pulled one back for the visitors on 79 minutes. The result is Bragantino's third consecutive league win, taking them to 29 points and fifth place. Internacional suffer a second straight defeat and remain stuck in 14th with just 21 points.
