Série D semifinals: ASA and Uberlândia take first-leg leads

In the semifinals of the Campeonato Brasileiro Série D, ASA and Uberlândia have taken significant leads in their respective matchups. ASA defeated Gama 2-0 in Arapiraca, with goals from Gabriel Motta and Sammuel. This result gives ASA a substantial advantage heading into the second leg in Brasília, where they can afford a one-goal loss and still advance.

In the other semifinal, Uberlândia secured a 1-0 victory over ABC at the Estádio Parque do Sabiá. The winning goal was scored by Marcos Calazans via a penalty kick. Uberlândia now only needs a draw in the return leg in Natal to reach the final, while ABC must win to stay in contention.

Following the match in Uberlândia, reports emerged regarding alleged threats and xenophobic attacks directed at members of the ABC technical staff by fans, raising concerns about safety and discrimination in the sport.
