Minheiros beat Crichás 2-0 in the Goyano-2 regular season on Wednesday night. The result lifts the hosts off the bottom of the table while Crichás remain rooted near the foot of the standings. No further details of the match were available.
Minheiros came into the fixture on the back of four defeats in five matches. A 0-1 loss to Grêmio Anapolitano, a 1-2 defeat to Rio Verde, and a 0-2 hammering by Morrinhos had left them reeling. This win, however brief, closed the game out in their favour and broke the cycle.
Crichás had been drawing their way through the season. Four consecutive draws against Tupi, Trindade, Bom Jesus, Morrinhos and Goiânia had kept them level but unprogressive. The 2-0 defeat changed the rhythm they had grown comfortable with.
Both sides now sit in the lower half. Minheiros move to 9 points from 9 games in seventh place, while Crichás hold 7 points from 9 games in ninth. The gap between them is two points, but the distinction lies in momentum rather than position.
