ABC prepares for decisive Série D semifinal against Uberlândia

ABC is preparing for a decisive semifinal match in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série D against Uberlândia. Following a 1-0 defeat in the first leg at Parque do Sabiá, the team must win by at least two goals at the Arena das Dunas this Sunday to advance directly to the final. A one-goal victory will result in a penalty shootout.

Coach Waguinho Dias noted that while the team's defensive strategy successfully limited Uberlândia's key playmaker, Tomas Bastos, the offensive sector struggled to produce opportunities. The coaching staff plans to use the upcoming week to adjust the attacking formation and address low productivity in the final third.

There is high local anticipation for the return leg, with the club reporting that over 15,000 tickets were sold within the first 24 hours of availability. The Premium sector is already sold out. The team is also monitoring the fitness of attacker Wallyson, who may return to the lineup after recovering from muscular discomfort.
