Overview
- Internacional beat Chapecoense 2-1 at Arena Condá on Saturday, ending a ten-game run without a victory in the Brasileirão.
- Bruno Henrique opened the scoring, Garcez equalized late in the first half, and Carbonero scored the decisive goal in the second half after Chapecoense failed to play out from the back.
- A late on-field confrontation between Marcinho and Villagra halted Chapecoense's momentum and disrupted the hosts' push for a late equalizer.
- The win gives Internacional short-term momentum but leaves them inside the relegation zone on 28 points while Chapecoense remains last with 17 points, and both teams head into matches on September 19 that will further shape the drop fight.
- Match details recorded referee Flávio Rodrigues de Souza, an attendance of 17,152 and revenue of R$1,395,250, and the result restores confidence for Inter ahead of a tough run of fixtures after the league restart.
