The home side made the brighter start and were ahead after just 5 minutes when Luis Oyama converted from Robson's assist for 1-0. Vila Nova responded as the half wore on and found their equaliser at 40' through Nathan Camargo, with Joao Vieira providing the setup. Earlier, a VAR review involving Patrick Marcos de Sousa Freitas ended with a no-penalty call for the visitors.
The game stayed tense around halftime, with Ryan Aparecido Lima Cassiano and Gabriel Bahia both shown yellow cards at 45'. After the restart, Novorizontino introduced Juninho on 58', a switch that proved decisive, while Vila Nova also turned to the bench with Dudu and Marquinhos Gabriel among the changes.
Discipline became a major part of the summary in the closing stages. Nathan Camargo was cautioned on 62', Dudu followed on 66', and Vila Nova were reduced to 10 men when Dudu received a yellow-red card at 85'. Novorizontino then made the advantage count, with Juninho striking at 90' to settle the final result.
