Brusque edged Ituano 1-0 at home in the Brasileiro Série C, securing the win thanks to a first-half strike by João Pedro. The goal came early and gave Brusque the platform to hold out for three points.
João Pedro broke the deadlock in the 18th minute, finishing after a pass from Petterson. Ituano pushed for an equaliser but could not find a way through, and the match grew increasingly scrappy with six yellow cards handed out across both sides.
With no detailed statistics available, the decisive moment was clearly João Pedro's early goal. Brusque managed to protect their lead despite a flurry of bookings, while Ituano will rue their inability to convert pressure into a goal.
