Luis Oyama opened the scoring in the 33rd minute, Roberto (Robson) added a second with a deft back‑heel in the 21st minute of the second half, and Rômulo finished in the 35th minute. The win took Novorizontino to 30 points, matching Criciúma but moving ahead on goal‑difference to retake provisional first place in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série B.
