AI match recap

This is a pressure match for Ceará at the Castelão, where their home form offers a genuine route to disrupting the league leaders. Novorizontino bring the division’s strongest recent momentum and a more dependable defensive platform, but reported absences in their defensive unit could alter the balance.
