On Monday, Coritiba suffered an away defeat to Athletico Paranaense at Arena da Baixada. Paranaense were hoping to get something from this game after losing their last match 2-1 to Corinthians.

Paranaense are currently 6th with 48 points from 32 matches, while Coritiba sit in 15th, with 34 points from 32.

After a goalless first half, Paranaense applied pressure in the second and were rewarded, when Alex Santana gave them the lead just before the final whistle. When the final whistle blew, the result was 1-0 to Paranaense.
