Derby day in Goiânia ended with bragging rights and three points heading to Atlético Goianiense, who beat city rivals Goiás 1-0 in a Brasileirão Serie B fixture that carried the extra edge only a local rivalry match can bring.
One Goal, No Response
A single goal settled the contest. Goiás were unable to find a way back into the game, and the scoreline stood as the final word on a tense afternoon between neighbours.
For Atlético Goianiense, the margin was slim but the result counts the same in the standings as a comfortable win. For Goiás, it means going home from a derby without a point to show for it.
Nothing else in this one needed embellishing. It was a derby, it went to the away side, and the scoreboard read 0-1.
