Bragantino enjoyed a home victory against Cuiaba at Stadium Nabi Abi Chedid (nabizao) on Thursday. Both Bragantino and Cuiaba came from defeats in their previous league games.

Bragantino and Cuiaba currently occupy 9th and 17th spots in the league, with 38 points and 30 points respectively after 30 matches.

The first half of the match started favourably for Cuiaba, when Deyverson found the net in the 34th minute. However, their lead was short-lived, as Werik Popo equalised for Bragantino just before half-time, which brought Mauricio Barbieri’s squad level at 1-1 at the half time break

Bragantino once more applied the pressure in the second half and were rewarded, thanks to a goal from Artur, 60 minutes in, which sealed the victory for Bragantino.
