Analysis The numbers behind the result
Goalless draw reflects blunt attacking from both sides
The 0-0 stalemate was a fair reflection of two sides struggling to create clear chances, with RB Bragantino's marginal xG advantage (0.24 vs 0.17) failing to translate into shots on target. Despite 51% possession and seven total shots (five off target), the hosts managed just four attempts from inside the box — their higher volume undermined by poor shot selection, with three efforts from outside the area.
Coritiba's defensive discipline limited Bragantino's threat, conceding only one corner while restricting them to 79% pass accuracy in a congested midfield. The visitors offered even less going forward, mustering just two off-target attempts all game — their lone shot inside the box coming from 49% possession that produced only 77% pass accuracy. The flurry of second-half substitutions (ten total) disrupted any rhythm, with four yellow cards highlighting a stop-start contest.
The decisive stat: zero shots on target from nine combined attempts — the first time since April 2022 these sides have both failed to test the goalkeeper in a Serie A match.
