Volta Redonda did its duty, this Saturday (28), in Raulino de Oliveira, aiming to reach the second division of the Brazilian championship. With a goal to turn off the lights, they beat Botafogo BP 2-1, in the fifth and penultimate round of the final stage of the third division league. But it still depends on a specific result to celebrate the position in the National Second Division.
This is because you need to hope that Remo will beat São Bernardo, this Sunday afternoon (29), at 4:30 p.m., in Brasilia, in Mangueirao. Barra occupies second place in Group B with six points, three points behind Voltaco, which has nine points. If they win, the home team will eliminate the team from within São Paulo – the Paraíba team has no chance of qualifying.
If they can make it, Volta Redonda will return to the Brazilian second division after 26 years. The last time was in 1998. Moreover, this feat would mark the return of a team with less investment than Rio to the second division after a decade. After all, in 2015, McKay represented state, but didn’t make it in that season’s competition.
