🎥 Goalkeeper howler denies Inter de Limeira early promotion

🎥 Goalkeeper howler denies Inter de Limeira early promotion Absent from Brazil’s Série B since 1991, Inter de Limeira were securing their long-awaited promotion until the 68th minute of Saturday’s (3) clash against Brusque. But they saw the Santa Catarina side make it 2-2 with help from their goalkeeper. The result also kept Paysandu ALIVE for the final round, with everything still possible in Group C of the second phase of Série C.  Comeback and... dreams still alive! Marlyson put Quadricolor ahead in the 31st minute at Major Levy Sobrinho. But Gabriel Dias (35') and Getúlio (42') completed the comeback before halftime. Then came the moment that changed everything. After a long ball forward, goalkeeper Renan Bragança tried to gather it. He failed, Marlyson took advantage and leveled it up (68'). It is worth remembering that Inter — São Paulo state champions in 1986 and Série B winners in 1988 — became a SAF (Football Corporation) at the end of August this year. And the group that completed the purchase of 80% of the shares includes Ronaldo Fenômeno and Roberto Carlos.  Group situation 📊 Inter de Limeira were moving up to nine points and opening a four-point gap over third-placed Brusque before conceding the equalizer. But they only reached seven and remain in second place. The Santa Catarina side now have six points. Ferroviária still lead the group and could also have sealed promotion early this Saturday.  But Paysandu came out on top (1-0). And they were given a chance thanks to Inter’s slip-up.  Papão do not depend only on themselves, but they head into the final round still alive.  Next Saturday (10) will feature the following decisive clashes: Brusque vs Paysandu and Ferroviária vs Inter de Limeira. Only the top two teams go up. And the group winner advances to the final.  Ferroviária and Paysandu are trying to return to Série B right after being relegated in 2025. And Brusque last played in the competition in 2024. So the day ended with only one promotion, Santa Cruz’s .  Photo: Reprodução/Inter de Limeira  This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
