GEL saw off CTE Colatina 6-0 in the Capixaba B Regular Season on Thursday, a result that leaves little doubt about where the two sides stand. The hosts, fifth in the table with twelve points from eight games, made short work of visitors who have failed to win once this campaign.
CTE Colatina's situation is stark. They occupy ninth place with a single point from eight matches, having lost seven of their eight outings. Their last five results read 0-1, 0-2, 0-2, 1-1, and 0-3 — a run that ended with this morning's demolition.
GEL were level in that earlier fixture on July 19th, drawing 1-1 away. By then they had already shown flashes of vulnerability, including a heavy 4-0 defeat to Linyares. This time they took something from the encounter that was always going to be one-sided.
The gap between the two sides in the standings is now eight points. GEL can fancy their chances of pushing into the upper half, while CTE Colatina are running out of games before the bottom falls out entirely.
