Paysandu loses to Inter de Limeira, promotion hopes jeopardized

Paysandu was defeated 2-0 by Inter de Limeira in the second match under Mazola Júnior. The away game drew harsh criticism from the coach and put the club in a delicate situation in the fight for promotion.

Paysandu's Defeat to Inter de Limeira

Papão created 22 shots, but failed to convert the volume of attacks into goals, even missing a penalty. Inter, on the other hand, managed three shots on target throughout the match and scored the two goals that sealed the result.

Mazola Júnior's Criticism of the Team

After the final whistle, Mazola Júnior stated that the team was "very incompetent" and that the lack of efficiency was decisive for the defeat. The coach highlighted that the team gave up players in the front line and that the second goal "killed our team's spirit".

Consequences for Série C Qualification

With the defeat, Paysandu saw promotion slip from its grasp. The club now depends on the result of the clash between Brusque and Ferroviária, which could raise Ferroviária's score to seven points. Meanwhile, Paysandu is not yet eliminated, but the margin for recovery has narrowed.

Paysandu's Next Match

The next challenge will be against Ferroviária, scheduled for October 3, at 7:30 PM, at Mangueirão. The board has not yet decided if there will be another stadium change after the alteration of the venue for the last game in Belém.

Coach's Situation and Prospects

Mazola Júnior made it clear that he does not intend to "throw in the towel" and that the team still has a chance to change the course of the campaign. The coach awaits the result of Brusque x Ferroviária to find out if there is still a path to promotion.
