Overview
- Uberlândia beat CSA 2-0 at Estádio Rei Pelé, completing a 3-0 aggregate win and clinching promotion to the 2027 Campeonato Brasileiro Série C after the second leg on Saturday.
- Da Silva and Max Miller scored in the first half of the second leg to build the victory that left CSA unable to overturn the tie.
- The club had won the first leg 1-0 at Parque do Sabiá, giving Uberlândia a 3-0 aggregate margin across the two-legged quarterfinal.
- Uberlândia now advances to the Série D semifinals and will face the winner of ABC vs Nacional-AM, a match scheduled to decide that opponent on August 16.
- The promotion caps a major moment for the club’s recent project under new investment and SAF management, which has driven stadium, youth and coaching changes and raises the club’s revenue and exposure prospects next season; reports that quarterfinal losers like CSA could still qualify via an access playoff remain less firmly corroborated.
