In a surprising turn of events in the Copa do Brasil Third Round first leg, Criciúma defeated Red Bull Bragantino 1-0 at the Heriberto Hülse. Trindade's goal in the 54th minute proved to be the difference. Despite Red Bull Bragantino dominating possession with 66.3% and registering 13 shots compared to Criciúma's 10, they failed to convert their chances. Criciúma's defense held firm, preventing Bragantino from registering a single shot on target. The match was physical, with Criciúma committing 16 fouls and receiving four yellow cards, while Bragantino committed 8 fouls and received one yellow card.
This result defied the AI's pre-game prediction, which favored a Red Bull Bragantino win, as well as the higher away team rate. Criciúma, with a team rate of 0.423, showed resilience against a Bragantino side rated at 0.527. This victory marks a significant moment for Criciúma, who have had mixed results recently in the Brazilian Serie B, with two draws, two losses, and one win in their last five matches. They are looking to build on this momentum as they head into their next game against Chapecoense. Red Bull Bragantino, despite this loss, has been in good form in the Brazilian Serie A, winning four of their last five matches, although they will be looking to rebound quickly in their upcoming match against Mirassol.
Analyzing previous head-to-head matches, Red Bull Bragantino thrashed Criciúma 5-1 in their most recent encounter in the Brazilian Serie A. However, Criciúma managed to win 1-0 at home in August 2024. This Copa do Brasil victory adds another layer to their rivalry. Criciúma's upcoming match against Chapecoense is also interesting, considering the last head-to-head match was won by Chapecoense 2-1 and will be a challenge to overcome for the team. This victory for Criciúma could provide a crucial confidence boost for their Serie B campaign.
