“Yannick Bolasie gave Bragantino the lead against the run of early play, finishing to make it 1-0 and reward the visitors for their clinical use of limited possession.”
Pivotal“Gabriel restored parity just before the break, converting to make it 1-1 and ensure Chapecoense's dominance in the first half was not entirely unrewarded.”
Pivotal“Lucas Barbosa struck to put Bragantino back in front at 2-1, a sucker-punch goal that came against the flow of play and ultimately decided the match.”
PivotalOutstanding performance

Bragantino produced a ruthlessly clinical performance to leave Arena Condá with three points despite being thoroughly outplayed for large stretches. Chapecoense dominated possession at 55 percent, generated 19 shots to Bragantino's seven, and created twice as many dangerous attacks, yet it was the visitors who left with the win — converting two of their three shots on target while Chapecoense squandered a big chance and managed only three shots on target from 19 attempts. Yannick Bolasie broke the deadlock on 23 minutes to put Bragantino ahead before Gabriel levelled for the hosts just before the interval, but Lucas Barbosa's 73rd-minute strike proved the difference. For Chapecoense, this was a damaging afternoon — the kind of defeat that haunts teams in a competitive Serie A table — while Bragantino's efficiency in front of goal will have reinforced their credentials as genuine contenders in a tightly contested title race.
