Maringá FC nears Série B promotion after victory over Botafogo-PB

Maringá FC has moved closer to securing promotion to Série B of the Brazilian Championship following a 2-0 victory against Botafogo-PB at the Willie Davids Stadium. Goals were scored by Jow Alexsander, via an own goal by Igor Moraes, and Gabriel Travassos, who converted a penalty.

Under the management of Ivan Campanari, Maringá FC currently sits as the vice-leader of Group B with six points. The win also positions the club to potentially secure a spot in the 2027 Copa do Brasil. Maringá FC will face Botafogo-PB again in an away match on October 26, followed by a game against Santa Cruz and a final group stage match against Floresta.
