“Chapecoense hit back right before halftime as Mauricio Garcez converts, assisted by Marcinho, in a chaotic closing sequence to the first half that also saw two yellow cards handed out.”
PivotalOutstanding performance

Chapecoense dominated the game by every underlying metric - 63% possession, 13 shots to 4, and a 70-42 edge in overall control - but a ruthlessly efficient Internacional side made their limited chances count. Bruno Henrique's early strike and a stoppage-time-adjacent header from Mauricio Garcez had the sides level at the break after a card-heavy, feisty finish to the first half, but it was Johan Carbonero's second-half winner, arriving straight from a corner routine, that proved decisive. For Chapecoense, this will sting given the volume of chances created (3 big chances, 2 missed) against an Internacional side managing just one shot on target beyond their two goals. The result keeps Internacional's momentum going on the road while Chapecoense, sitting in the mid-table battle, will rue their wastefulness in front of goal against a team that offered them so much of the ball.
