Paysandu loses 1-0 to Ypiranga-RS, warns of slump in Brazil's Série C

Paysandu suffered a 1-0 defeat to Ypiranga-RS on Sunday in the 13th round of Brazil's Série C, with the only goal scored by Renan Gorne at the 29‑minute mark. The loss marked the team's second consecutive defeat, but the club remained in fifth place with 20 points, still within the qualification zone for the final stage.

The match was played at Colosso da Lagoa in Erechim on a poorly conditioned pitch that hampered play for both sides. Despite a more organized second‑half effort after tactical changes, Paysandu could not convert chances and failed to break the deadlock. The team will seek to rebound in its next fixture against league leaders Guarani.

Club officials have highlighted the need for improvements, particularly in attacking consistency, as they approach the final rounds of the first phase and aim to secure a spot in the quadrangulars for promotion to Série B.
