Goiás beat Londrina 1-0 in Brasileiro Série B, with Kadu's 19th-minute goal proving decisive. The home side took the lead early and never surrendered it, holding on through a scrappy, increasingly physical contest. Six yellow cards were shown in all, all to different players.
Kadu scored the only goal of the game on 19 minutes. Londrina responded with more total shots and eight corners, but the Goiás goalkeeper made four saves to keep them at bay. The second half was littered with stoppages, and all six bookings came after the interval.
Goiás created the game's only big chance and had the superior expected-goals count, 1.30 to 0.68, while also enjoying 55% possession. Londrina had more total shots but could only match Goiás' four shots on target. Kadu's early strike proved to be the decisive moment.
