Ponte Preta and Athletic Club shared the points in a 1-1 draw in the Brasileiro Série B. The home side took the lead through Léo Gomes early in the first half, but Athletic Club fought back after the interval to level through Ian Luccas. Both sides created one big chance and scored it, with the game ending all square.
Léo Gomes put Ponte Preta ahead in the 21st minute, turning in Elvis's assist. Athletic Club controlled more possession (51%) and had a slightly higher expected goals total (0.92 to 0.84), and they found the equaliser in the 67th minute when Ian Luccas scored. The goal came against the run of play in terms of shots on target—Ponte Preta had six to Athletic Club's two.
Despite dominating the shot count on target, Ponte Preta could not add to their lead. Athletic Club's goalkeeper made five saves to keep his side in the match, while Ponte Preta's keeper made just one. The game also saw a flurry of yellow cards—nine in total—with the first booking for Maswel Ananias Silva as early as the fifth minute.
