Juventude takes Série B lead after comeback win over CRB

Juventude has claimed the lead in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série B following a 2-1 comeback victory against CRB at the Alfredo Jaconi stadium. Thiaguinho opened the scoring for CRB late in the first half, but Juventude responded in the second half with a penalty from Alisson Safira and a decisive goal from Alan Kardec.

With this win, Juventude reaches 45 points, moving ahead of Criciúma to sit at the top of the table. CRB, which had a seven-game unbeaten streak, dropped to 7th place with 36 points. CRB coach Fábio Matias attributed the loss to a lack of efficiency, noting that the team missed several opportunities to extend their lead while ahead.

In other regional news, Náutico is attempting to build on a six-game unbeaten streak to distance itself from the relegation zone in Série B. Meanwhile, CSA is preparing for a decisive playoff match against Nacional-AM, bolstered by the return of defender Amorim from injury.
