Ferroviária nears Série C promotion after draw with Brusque

The race for promotion in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série C intensifies as Ferroviária remains at the top of Group C. Following a 1-1 draw against Brusque—secured by a Denilson goal in stoppage time—Ferroviária holds eight points and is close to confirming access to Série B.

Brusque, despite an early lead via an own goal by Eduardo, sits in third place with five points. The result marks a difficult period for the team, which has struggled to secure home victories. Their upcoming match against Inter de Limeira will be a direct confrontation for promotion spots.

Meanwhile, Paysandu faces a critical situation in the competition. Currently at the bottom of Group C with only one point from four matches, the club's mathematical chances for promotion are slim, with projections suggesting a very low probability of advancement. The club has announced its upcoming match against Ferroviária will take place at the Curuzu stadium, marking their final home game of the 2026 season in Belém.
