Cuiabá claimed a 1-0 win over Operário-PR in the Brasileiro Série B, with Wesley scoring the only goal of the game in the 74th minute. The result came despite Operário dominating much of the play, as Cuiabá made the most of a single clear chance.
The game remained goalless until Wesley finished from Fábio Gomes's assist to put Cuiabá ahead. Operário pushed for an equaliser but could not find a way past the home defence, with the visitors' best opportunities going begging.
Operário had 18 shots to Cuiabá's six and 56% possession, yet Cuiabá's goalkeeper made three saves and the home side scored with their only shot on target. It was a case of taking one big chance when it mattered.
