Paraúapembas 8:1 Altamira
Paraúapembas saw off Altamira 8:1 in the Regular Season - 6 fixture of the Série B2 in the state of Pará on 23 September. The result leaves the hosts five points clear of the visitors, who remain rooted at the foot of the table.
and here's the thing — eight goals against one does not simply describe a bad day for Altamira. The visitors have now lost three straight, collecting zero points from their opening three matches. They arrived having already fallen to Paraúapembas 1:2 on 13 September, a result that perhaps foreshadowed this outcome.
The home side showed signs of building something after a shaky start. They drew 2:2 with Gavião earlier in the month, had beaten Altamira 2:1 on their previous encounter, but lost 0:1 to Gavião on 5 September. Three games, one win, one draw, one loss — four points puts them seventh, and this afternoon's performance shifts the balance in their favour.
Altamira's record tells a sterner story. Three defeats, zero points, twelve places behind the hosts. They have lost to Gavião twice — 0:1 and 0:2 — and also fell to Atlético Paranaense 1:2 and Gavião 1:3 in earlier fixtures. The pattern is consistent enough to read without embellishment.
What this means is straightforward. Paraúapembas move within touching distance of the top half, while Altamira sit 12th with nothing to show for three attempts. The gap between them widens, and the table begins to take shape.
