Juventude left Goiânia with a 1-0 win over Goiás in the Brasileiro Série B, the only goal arriving in the 88th minute. Fábio Costa's late strike decided a tight contest that had looked destined for a goalless draw. The visitors had less of the ball but took the one clear chance that mattered.
Goiás controlled much of the play, enjoying 53% possession and 17 shots to Juventude's eight. But they could not beat the Juventude goalkeeper, who made five saves. With the game heading to a stalemate, Alan Kardec set up Fábio Costa to break the deadlock in the 88th minute and snatch all three points.
The numbers tell a familiar story: Goiás had 17 shots, five on target, yet finished with nothing. Juventude's expected goals were 0.88 to Goiás's 0.56, and their only big chance was scored. Luis Fellipe and Aderlan were booked, but the decisive contribution came from Fábio Costa's late finish.
