In the Copa Sudamericana 2023 group stage, Goiás welcomes Gimnasia at the Serrinha Stadium on the fifth matchday. The venue sets the scene for a crucial clash in Group G, where the leader and the last-placed team meet with much at stake regarding progression beyond the group phase.
The Emerald Green side arrive fortified after a 1-0 victory over Universitario on the fourth matchday, with a late strike from Luis Apodi in the 89th minute sealing the win. Under the guidance of Emerson Ávila, Goiás sits atop the group table with eight points, showcasing a strong start to the continental campaign.
Gimnasia, conversely, earned a 1-0 win over Santa Fe in their most recent continental outing, highlighted by Franco Ramón Torres. The victory came with its share of drama, including a red card for Felipe Sánchez. Sebastian Romero’s squad remains near the bottom of the standings with three points, but a strong performance could alter their trajectory in the final group games.
Historically, the teams met earlier in the competition when Goiás defeated the Argentinians 2-0, with goals from Vinicius Santos Silva and Matheus Peixoto contributing to a confident result that added momentum to Goiás’s campaign.
