Crichás saw off Grêmio Anapolense 2-1 in the ninth round of Goiano-2 regular season action on Friday evening. The result keeps both sides level on seven points, though the hosts sit one place behind in eighth while the visitors occupy seventh. And here's the thing — you would not have read this coming if you had been watching their recent runs.
Vini opened the scoring in the forty-ninth minute to give Crichás the lead they needed. Grêmio Anapolense equalised soon after when M. Deivid turned the ball into his own net in the sixty-ninth, a moment that shifted everything. The visitors thought they had taken the points, but it was not over.
T. M. Dos Santos Guerra struck in the seventy-fifth minute to rescue victory for the home side. By then the match had become something else entirely — a contest decided by three moments rather than sustained dominance. The crowd roared them on as the final whistle approached.
Both teams arrived with mixed recent form, though neither could claim consistency. Crichás had drawn four of their previous nine games and lost four, while Grêmio Anapolense managed only two wins from the same number of matches. To be fair, neither side looked like they were going to falter easily.
The result leaves both clubs on seven points from nine games, separated by a single position in the table. Crichás remain in eighth place with only one victory, while Grêmio Anapolense sit seventh despite having fewer wins. The gap between them is minimal, and anything can happen from here.
