Amazonas End Drought With 2–1 Win Over Paysandu

How Did Amazonas End Their Winless Run?

Amazonas FC defeated Paysandu 2–1 in a comeback win on Sunday at Estádio Carlos Zamith, ending a four-game winless streak in Série C. Both goals came from Uruguayan striker Nico Schiappacasse, who had gone eight matches without scoring before this performance.

What Did Schiappacasse Say After the Match?

The attacker was emotional after the game, crediting collective effort for the turnaround. "We needed this. We were playing tough games and couldn't find the net. But my teammates and I never stopped giving everything we had in training. Thank God, today we brought a victory home," he said.

Where Does Amazonas Stand in the Table Now?

The win lifted Amazonas to 20 points, placing them 11th in the Série C standings. Crucially, they are now just two points behind Maringá, who currently sit in 8th place — the final G-8 promotion playoff spot. This makes their next fixture especially significant.

When Is the Next Key Match?

Série C takes a two-week break, and Amazonas return to action on August 9 (Sunday) at 16:00 Brasília time, away against Maringá — a direct six-pointer that could reshape their promotion hopes.
