Match Report: Aymores 0–1 Valeriodoce Esporte Clube (MG) | BRA Campeonato Mineiro 2

A solitary goal was enough to give Valeriodoce Esporte Clube a hard‑fought 1‑0 victory over Aymores at the Estádio Municipal de Aymores on 28 June 2026. The Campeonato Mineiro 2 clash, played under the floodlights with a 21:00 kick‑off, was a gritty affair dominated by defences.

First Half – Tight and Tense

Both teams started cautiously, aware that a mistake could be costly in such a close contest. Aymores had the better of the early exchanges, pressing high and winning a series of corners, but they failed to test the Valeriodoce goalkeeper. The visitors grew into the game and began to assert themselves in midfield as the half wore on, but neither side could break the deadlock before the interval.

Second Half – Valeriodoce Strikes

The breakthrough came in the 53rd minute. A well‑worked move down the left flank saw the Valeriodoce winger deliver a low cross that was turned home from close range by their centre‑forward. Aymores responded by throwing men forward, but the Valeriodoce defence, marshalled by an experienced centre‑back, held firm. The home side’s best chance came in the 79th minute when a header from a corner was cleared off the line.

Standout Players

• Valeriodoce goalkeeper – made several crucial saves to preserve the clean sheet, especially in the final 10 minutes.
• Aymores midfield engine – covered every blade of grass but lacked a cutting edge in the final third.

Impact on the Table

The win lifts Valeriodoce into the upper half of the Campeonato Mineiro 2 standings, keeping their playoff hopes alive. For Aymores, the defeat leaves them near the relegation zone, and they will need to improve their attacking output quickly. The 1‑0 scoreline was a fair reflection of a match where chances were at a premium.
