Novorizontino 3:0 América Mineiro: Serie B Match Result

Match report

Novorizontino beat America Minero 3-0 in the Regular Season of Brazil's Serie B on Thursday night. The hosts ran out comfortable winners at Estadio Doctor Jorge Ismael de Biasi, with the scoreline reflecting a match they controlled from start to finish. And here's the thing about results like this — they often hide how easy it was until you watch the tape.

Patrick opened the scoring in the 23rd minute, but the real turning point came before that. By then, both sides had picked up yellow cards — Paulo Victor in the 17th and Madson in the 19th. Romulo missed a penalty in the 39th, which shifted any remaining tension. Manoel was sent off shortly after, replaced by Gonzalo Mastriani at the break.

Novorizontino added two more goals to put the result beyond doubt. Robson scored in the 81st minute, and Carlao sealed it with a late strike in stoppage time. The hosts made plenty of changes — six substitutions in total — but the game was already done. By then they were just managing the clock.

The statistics tell the story without needing comment. Novorizontino created seven big chances and had an expected goals total of 3.6, while their opponents managed just one big chance and 0.3 expected goals. They took 26 shots on target compared to America's two, and dominated possession in every meaningful sense.

America Minero sit 19th with 14 points from 26 games, and this result leaves them staring at the drop. Novorizontino move into fourth with 25 points from 25 matches. The gap between them is now 11 points, and that price has gone further away for the visitors.
