Ponte Preta earned a narrow 1-0 victory over Brusque FC at the Estádio Moisés Lucarelli on September 15, 2025. A single goal in the first half proved decisive in a tightly contested match that showcased Ponte Preta's defensive solidity and efficiency in the Brazilian Serie C. The only goal of the game arrived in the 32nd minute, when Ponte Preta's midfielder unleashed a low shot from outside the box that took a deflection and wrong-footed the Brusque goalkeeper. Brusque FC responded well and created several promising opportunities, most notably hitting the post from a header just before halftime. The second half saw Brusque dominate possession as they searched for an equalizer, but they were repeatedly frustrated by Ponte Preta's organized backline and a series of crucial saves from the home goalkeeper. The three points allowed Ponte Preta to keep pace at the top of the table, while Brusque was left to reflect on a match where their performance deserved more than a defeat. The Ponte Preta coach praised his team's grit, and the Brusque manager acknowledged his side's poor luck in front of goal.
