Paysandu Relegated to Série C After 2–1 Defeat to Atlético-GO

A turbulent campaign left the club bottom on 27 points with three rounds still to play.

Overview

  • Atlético-GO overturned a halftime deficit at Antônio Accioly, with Lelê equalizing on 60 minutes and Robert Santos scoring the winner at 76.
  • Maurício Garcez had put Paysandu ahead just before the interval after a defensive error by the hosts.
  • The result confirms Paysandu’s return to the third tier in 2026 and leaves the team at 5 wins, 12 draws and 18 losses from 35 matches.
  • This relegation is the club’s eighth and comes two seasons after their 2023 promotion back to Série B following five years in Série C.
  • Atlético-GO rose to 51 points, cleared any threat of the drop and retains a slim chance of reaching the G-4.
