Goiás EC 0–3 Operario Ferroviario PR | Brazilian Série B, 21 June 2026
Operario Ferroviario PR delivered a statement performance in the Brazilian Série B on Monday night, thrashing Goiás EC 3-0 at Estádio da Serrinha. The visitors’ ruthless efficiency in front of goal proved the difference as they climbed the standings with a dominant away victory.
Match Overview
From the opening whistle, Operario looked the more dangerous side. They pressed high, disrupted Goiás’ build-up play, and created clear-cut chances.

A precise through ball split the centre-backs, allowing the striker to slot calmly past the goalkeeper. The goal visibly unsettled Goiás, who struggled to regain their rhythm before the break.
Second-Half Dominance
Operario doubled their lead just after the hour mark. A corner kick was only partially cleared, and the ball fell to an unmarked midfielder on the edge of the box. His first-time volley flew into the bottom corner, leaving the keeper with no chance. Goiás attempted to respond by introducing fresh attacking options, but Operario’s defence remained resolute.
The visitors sealed the contest late in the second half with a third goal. A quick break down the right wing ended with a low cross that was turned in from close range. The 3-0 scoreline reflected Operario’s superiority in all phases of the game.
