Caravaggio Crush Nação 4-1 in Catarinense Second Division Showdown
Caravaggio FC delivered a dominant performance to defeat Nação 4-1 at the Estádio da Montanha, continuing their impressive form in the Campeonato Catarinense Série B. The home side’s attacking verve was too much for the visitors, who struggled to contain Caravaggio’s relentless pressure.
The hosts took the lead inside the opening ten minutes through a well‑struck volley from Lucas Barreto, who connected perfectly with a loose ball after a corner. Caravaggio doubled their advantage in the 28th minute when Rafael Tavares finished a slick passing move with a low shot into the far corner.
Second‑Half Blitz Seals the Win
Nação pulled a goal back early in the second half, with João Pedro heading in from a free kick, briefly giving the away side hope. However, Caravaggio quickly reasserted their dominance. A penalty converted by Tiago Alves in the 63rd minute restored the two‑goal cushion, and Felipe Henrique added a fourth in the 78th minute with a neat finish after a counter‑attack.
Caravaggio midfield controlled the game throughout, while their forwards constantly stretched the Nação defence. The victory keeps Caravaggio firmly in the promotion race, mounting pressure on the division leaders.
For Nação, the defeat highlights defensive frailties that must be addressed if they are to climb the table. Caravaggio, meanwhile, look like genuine title contenders with their current firepower.
