2025-07-20 | Game Summary

In a shocking turn of events in the Brazilian Serie B, Paysandu stunned Coritiba with a resounding 5-2 victory at the Couto Pereira. The AI had predicted a Coritiba win, a prediction that proved wildly inaccurate. Despite Coritiba dominating possession with 65.6% and unleashing 20 total shots, their finishing was woeful, converting only 3 into shots on target. Paysandu, with a more efficient attacking display, capitalized on their opportunities, converting 6 of their 12 shots on target into goals.
The game saw an early flurry of goals, with Josué Pesqueira scoring for Coritiba in the 26th minute, only to be answered quickly by Maurício Garcez for Paysandu in the 28th minute and Diogo in the 31st. Diogo further extended Paysandu's lead in the 44th minute, making it 3-1. Pesqueira scored again for Coritiba with a penalty in the 57th minute to close the gap. However, Marlon converted a penalty in the 69th minute and Garcez secured his brace in the 87th minute, sealing Paysandu's dominant victory.
Coritiba's previous form had been strong, winning their last four of five games, including a win against Athletico Paranaense. Their defense, however, looked shaky in this match, conceding five goals, a stark contrast to their previous solid performances. Paysandu, on the other hand, had been drawing matches lately, but this win suggests a resurgence in their attacking prowess.
This victory breaks the recent head-to-head trend, where Coritiba had been relatively dominant. Paysandu's efficiency in front of goal was key to their success. The upcoming matches for both teams will be crucial, as Coritiba will need to address their defensive vulnerabilities, while Paysandu will aim to maintain their newfound attacking form. This result indicates a significant shift in form for both teams and highlights the unpredictability of the Brazilian Serie B. The outcome goes against the AI model expectation of a balanced game.
