CRB has maintained a competitive presence in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série B. In August, the club extended an unbeaten streak to seven games following a 2-0 victory against Athletic, with coach Fábio Matias highlighting the squad’s defensive stability and tactical discipline.

By mid-September, CRB entered a critical phase of the season, positioned 8th in the standings. Following a 3-0 loss to Operário, the team prepared for a high-stakes match against Sport to contend for a position in the G-6.

On September 14, the club faced Sport at the Estádio Rei Pelé in Maceió in a decisive 28th-round confrontation for a spot in the promotion playoff zone. CRB secured a 2-1 victory, moving to 45 points and into seventh position. Crystopher opened the scoring in the 16th minute, and Diogo Hereda extended the lead with a long-range strike in the 44th minute of the second half. Although Patrick de Paula scored a late consolation goal for Sport Recife in stoppage time, the result leaves CRB just one point behind Atlético-GO for the final G-6 spot.

Following this victory, coach Fábio Matias stated that the team has fulfilled its initial objective of reaching a safe point threshold early, effectively moving away from the relegation zone. The club is now shifting its focus toward competing for promotion to Série A. Midfielder Crystopher has urged the squad to maintain humility, describing the remaining ten matches as “10 finals.” CRB’s next challenge is an away match against Ponte Preta, with current projections suggesting a 41.88% probability of securing access through the playoffs.
