Match Highlights
The great performance of Galo da Pajuçara passed directly through the balance of its sectors, combining compact marking and great precision in the attacks. While Timbu could not convert its moments of possession into real danger plays, the Alagoan squad was surgical to shake the nets three times and ensure tranquility on the scoreboard. The firm posture of the visitors turned a traditionally tough confrontation into a dominant exhibition.
What the Numbers Say
The categorical triumph consolidates CRB's recovery, which came from two victories, one draw, and two defeats in the previous five games and now totals 55 points in the classification table. On the other hand, Náutico, which accumulated one victory, one draw, and three defeats in its recent record, saw its moment of oscillation weigh in the penultimate round. The Regatian victory gives new breath to the team and brakes the alvirrubra intentions in the final moments of the competition.
