Caxias and Inter de Limeira played out a goalless draw in Brasileiro Série C, with the home side having to dig in after Matheus Nunes was sent off. The match never produced a goal, and the decisive moment came when Nunes picked up a second yellow card on 67 minutes following his earlier booking on 26.
Inter de Limeira pressed for a winner against the ten men but were unable to find a breakthrough. The visitors had their own anxious moments, with Lucas Xavier Felix booked on 49, Heitor Roca Santo on 73, and Yan Silva on 83, while Caxias also saw a player booked on 77.
The sending off was the clear turning point, leaving Caxias to defend for the final 23 minutes and beyond. Without a box score to measure dominance, the scoreline and the red card tell the story: a tight, attritional contest in which both sides settled for a point.
