Caxias 1:2 Figueirense: Serie C Match Result

Match report

Figueirense came from behind to beat Caxias 2-1 in the Serie C regular season on 16 August 2026. Dentinho opened the scoring for the hosts at the twenty-seventh minute, and Emerson Galego equalised just before half-time. By then, three yellow cards had already been shown, and the match was far from settled.

Figueirense turned the game round with Jhonnathan's goal in the sixty-third minute. The visitors were less dominant in possession — fifty-five percent to forty-five — but their finishing proved sharper. Caxias racked up one hundred and five attacks and seven shots on target, yet only managed one reply.

Substitutions began to flood in around the hour mark. Mailson came on for Caxias at fifty-six minutes, while Joao Lucas and Jhonatan Ribeiro were both replaced at fifty-nine. The home side made four changes in total, bringing on Igor Bolt, Marcelo Freitas, and others as they chased the game.

The statistics tell a familiar story: Caxias had more possession and more shots, but Figueirense took their chances. The visitors managed three shots on target and scored twice, while the hosts hit seven on target and scored once. Corners told a similar tale — six to two — but the difference was in conversion.

In the table, the result shifts things slightly. Figueirense move up to eleventh with twenty-eight points from seven wins and seven draws. Caxias remain fourteenth on twenty-five points, with six defeats in nineteen games. The gap between them is small, but the confidence gained tonight could make life awkward for both sides going forward.
