Novorizontino 0:1 Juventude — Informe del Partido

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystINFORME DEL PARTIDO

Jandrei was the hero as Juventude edged Novorizontino 0-1 in the Brasileiro Série B, the goalkeeper’s 8.7 rating proving decisive in a match that lacked a clear stage. The 54th-minute goal from Raí, unassisted, separated the sides, but it was the home side’s early dominance that shaped the narrative before the visitors grew into the contest.

The turning point came just after the hour mark, when Juventude weathered a storm of Novorizontino pressure and struck through Raí on the counter. Novorizontino had controlled the first half with 12 shots and an xG of 0.66, yet they failed to convert, while Juventude’s second-half improvement saw them take 7 shots and edge the xG tally. Yellow cards to Lucas Mineiro, Titi, Aderlan, Gabriel and Luan Martins Gonçalves showed the visitors’ gritty approach.

On the numbers, Novorizontino held 54% possession and fired 15 shots to Juventude’s 10, yet they were outplayed on efficiency, losing despite creating more. Jandrei’s 8.7 rating, as a goalkeeper with no goals, marked him the standout for his shot-stopping in a match where his side were second-best for long spells. CheckLive’s model rated Juventude marginally ahead, and the result confirmed that call, though the flow suggested Novorizontino deserved more from their pressure.
