Athletico-PR was defeated by Azuriz 2-1 on Tuesday night (20th), away from home, in a match valid for the fifth round of the 2026 Paranaense Championship.
The Furacão even took the lead in the first half with a goal by Bruninho, but ended up conceding the comeback in the final stage, with João Maranhão and Marquinhos scoring for the home team.
The second half was decisive for the Pato Branco team, which grew in the match and could have built an even larger score.
Vinicio had the chance to extend the lead with a penalty kick, but missed the opportunity, keeping Athletico alive in the game until the final minutes. Even so, the Rubro-Negro could not react after the turnaround.
The result extends Athletico's period of instability, marking their second consecutive defeat — in the previous round, the team lost the derby against Coritiba 1-0.
With the setback, the Furacão remains in second place in Group A, with seven points, six behind the leader Londrina. Meanwhile, Azuriz confirms their good campaign and takes the lead in Group B, now with eight points.
