Audax San Mateus completed a comprehensive victory over Colatina, running out 5-0 winners in the eighth round of the Capixaba B regular season on Tuesday night. The result extends Colatina's miserable run and leaves them rooted to the foot of the table with just a single point from eight matches.
It was another chapter in a difficult season for the home side, who have now lost four consecutive league games after their draw against Gel. To be fair, this performance was perhaps the most one-sided of their current slide, with Audax showing no mercy from the opening whistle.
The visitors had already beaten Colatina earlier this season with a 2-0 scoreline, and this time they were even more dominant. Audax San Mateus sit fourth in the standings with 16 points from five victories and a single draw, while Colatina are languishing in ninth place with seven defeats.
For Audax, the win keeps them in touch with the top half and maintains their momentum after a mixed recent run that included draws and narrow losses. Colatina's situation grows more desperate by the week, and they have nothing to lose as the season progresses.
