Gavião claimed a 1-0 victory over Altamira in the fifth round of Série B2 of Pará State on Sunday evening. The result keeps the visitors at the top of the table while Altamira remain rooted to the bottom after three consecutive defeats.
Altamira's record after five matchdays leaves them with zero points from three games, all lost. Their recent run reads 1-2 against Parauapebas last week, followed by back-to-back defeats to Gavião earlier in September. The home side have not won since and their campaign has stalled before gaining momentum.
Gavião meanwhile sit first with ten points from four fixtures, recording three wins and one draw without a single loss. Their last outing ended in a 2-2 draw against Parauapebas, but the result still left them unbeaten. The visitors closed the game out against Altamira despite the hosts pressing for an equaliser.
This marked the second meeting between the sides this year, with Gavião having won 2-0 at home on September 11th. Altamira's defensive frailties showed through again as they failed to contain Gavião's attacking threat. The clean-sheet run came to an end for Altamira after three consecutive matches without conceding.
The result extends Gavião's unbeaten streak to five games across all competitions. Altamira's position at the foot of the table remains unchanged, though the gap to safety has not altered significantly. Both teams have played three and four matches respectively, so the standings reflect only early-season form.
