AC Goianiense's night turned awkward when Bruno Jose entered the book after 19 minutes and Gustavo Coutinho was shown a red card at 32'52''. Roger Roger Silva reacted quickly, withdrawing Geovany dos Santos Soares and Bruno Jose for Cristiano Claudinei Nogueira and Gebson Gomes Dos Santos within seconds of each other.
Even with that disruption, the decisive moment arrived at 41'26'', when Klebert De Oliveira Pereira struck for the only goal and a 1-0 halftime lead. Fortaleza had also seen Mauricio Junior Lima Rodrigues booked just before the breakthrough, a sign of the growing edge in the contest.
Fortaleza reshaped at the break with Mailton, Welliton and Pedro Henrique all introduced at 45'00'', but the visitors could not turn their extra man into an equaliser. Their push was punctuated by more cautions as Lucas Gazal went into the book at 48'00'', Rodriguinho followed at 61'56'', Gabriel Fuentes was booked at 84'01'', and Mailton saw yellow at 90'00''.
Klebert later made way for Matheus Indio, while Leo Jaco replaced Marrony late on as AC Goianiense closed out a tense win. The result and the highlights were shaped in a bruising first half, and the final summary was simple: one chance taken, one lead protected.
