Atlético‑GO defeats Ponte Preta 2‑0 in Brazilian Série B clash
On 28 June 2026, Atlético‑GO secured a 2‑0 victory over Ponte Preta at the Estádio Antônio Accioly in Goiânia. Both goals came in the first half from Gustavo Coutinho – the first from a penalty after Marrony was fouled, the second two minutes later following a defensive error.
The win lifted Atlético‑GO to 21 points and ninth place in the Série B table, extending its unbeaten run to five matches after two winless rounds. The team entered the match without a permanent head coach, operating under interim manager Renan Brito following Eduardo Souza’s departure.
Ponte Preta, already entrenched near the bottom of the standings with eight points, suffered its fourth consecutive defeat, deepening concerns of a possible relegation battle.
Both clubs now turn their attention to the upcoming round: Atlético‑GO will travel to face Novorizontino, while Ponte Preta heads to Fortaleza to meet the hosts.
