Campeonato Sergipano: CS Sergipe 1-0 AD Confiança. In a tense Sergipe state championship derby, CS Sergipe claimed local bragging rights with a narrow 1-0 victory over rivals AD Confiança at the Estádio João Hora de Oliveira. A single first-half goal was enough to separate the two sides in a match defined by defensive organization and limited clear chances. The decisive moment arrived just before the half-hour mark, when Sergipe's striker pounced on a loose ball in the box to slot home. Confiança dominated possession for large spells in the second half but found it impossible to break down a resolute Sergipe backline, with the home goalkeeper making a crucial late save to preserve the clean sheet. This derby win provides a significant morale boost for CS Sergipe and strengthens their position in the state league table. The Confiança manager expressed frustration at his team's lack of cutting edge in the final third. The CS Sergipe starting XI was set up to be compact and hit on the break, a tactic that proved successful against their more possession-oriented rivals.
