Audax São Mateus seeks promotion in decisive match against Estrela

Audax São Mateus faces a critical match against Estrela this Saturday at the Sumaré Stadium in Cachoeiro de Itapemirim. To secure promotion to the elite of Capixaba football for 2027, Audax must win by at least two goals. A one-goal victory would allow the team to proceed to the final via a penalty shootout.

Following a 2-1 defeat in the first leg, the Audax squad remains confident despite controversial officiating decisions in the previous match, including a rescinded red card and a disputed goal. Estrela aims to leverage home-field advantage, with efforts underway to bring at least 2,000 supporters to the stadium.
