Goiás faced defeat in their previous match, away at Internacional (2-4). A goal frenzy last time out for Goiás, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Internacional. Fun stuff to watch!

The attacking player Raúl won the honour of being "man of the match" for Goiás with the rating of 8.33/10. Raúl scored two goals and dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times.

1-1 away at Ceara before that.
