Ponte Preta secured a 1-0 victory against CRB at the Moisés Lucarelli stadium, ending a 22-match winless streak that included 19 losses and three draws. The decisive goal was scored by Brandão in the 39th minute of the first half during the 29th round of the Brazilian Série B.

Despite the win, the club remains in 20th place with 13 points, facing a significant gap to escape the relegation zone. The club continues to navigate severe financial difficulties and administrative instability, which have previously manifested as recurring delays in salary payments.

The match also highlighted the poor condition of the Moisés Lucarelli pitch. CRB coach Fábio Matias noted that while pitch conditions were poor due to rain, the team’s individual and collective performance was also lacking.
