Match report

Avaí secured a comfortable away victory against Pontinho at the Estadio Moises Lucarelli, winning 2-0 in the Brazilian Serie B's Regular Season - 24 on Sunday. The result leaves the hosts rooted to the bottom of the table while the visitors climb slightly away from the relegation zone. Jean Lucas opened the scoring just before half-time with a well-taken goal in the 46th minute to give Avaí the lead they would not relinquish. Wenderson doubled the advantage with a second goal in stoppage time, confirming the visitors' superiority on the night. Pontinho dominated possession with 62 percent of the ball but struggled to create meaningful chances. Their expected goals figure of 0.41 tells the story - two shots on target from 26 attempts suggests they were camped in the final third but lacked penetration. Avaí, by then, were content to absorb pressure and hit on the break. Their expected goals of 1.49 from four shots on target demonstrates clinical efficiency when they did find space. The away side created three big chances compared to the hosts' two, and converted two of them. The result highlights the gulf between the teams' form. Pontinho have won just twice in 25 games and sit bottom with 10 points, while Avaí's eight victories take them to 16th place with 29 points. The hosts lost their previous match 6-0 to Vila Nova, extending a poor run that includes only one draw in five games. Avaí's recent form shows more resilience, with three wins in their last five matches including victories over Sport and Operario-PR. Both sides picked up yellow cards, with Pontinho receiving one and Avaí four between them. The defeat means Pontinho remain in 20th place, while Avaí move up to 16th, six points clear of the drop zone. It was a result that reflected the difference in quality when it mattered most.
