Coritiba FBC earned an important 2–0 victory over CA Mineiro on matchday 12 of the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, capitalising on a fast start and managing a tense finale that featured dismissals for both teams.
The hosts struck early. In the 7th minute, Breno Lopes opened the scoring for Coritiba, giving his side a 1–0 lead and immediate control of the match. Detailed build-up information on the goal is not available, but the early breakthrough set the tone against a Mineiro side that struggled to respond decisively.
Coritiba picked up the first caution of the game when Sebastián Gómez was booked in the 45th minute, as the home team protected their narrow advantage heading into half-time.
After the interval, Coritiba doubled their lead. In the 58th minute, Pedro Rocha found the net to make it 2–0, putting the home side in a strong position. Moments later, tactical changes followed for Coritiba, including the introduction of Joaquín Lavega and Thiago Santos, while Mineiro turned to their bench shortly after in search of a way back.
CA Mineiro’s frustrations showed in the second half. Lyanco received a yellow card in the 65th minute, and the visitors made multiple substitutions, bringing on Dudu, Mamady Cissé, later Mateo Cassierra, Bernard and Ángelo Preciado, but they were unable to convert any response on the scoreboard.
