Avaí vs Atlético Goianiense Match Report
Both teams needed the points badly and, after this result both are on 40 points just outside the drop zone. Tensions were tight and, at one point, the police had to come on to the pitch to calm tempers.It wasn’t surprising that someone would see red and that dubious honor came to Atletico-GO’s Thiago Felti, sent off for a second yellow after 39 minutes of the first half. A minute later Avai struck, Eltinho putting them one up knocking one in that Marcio failed to hold.
The second half saw Atletico-GO subdued but Avai failed to take advantage until Jeferson came on for Rudnei. He then scored twice in three minutes towards the end to make the points safe for Avai.
