Last Sunday, our team faced Nacional de Campo Mourão at the Estádio Municipal José Chiappin stadium, in a match valid for the final round of the group stage of the 2026 second division.

Despite the 1-0 scoreline for the visitors, Laranja, already qualified, took the field giving rotation to the squad and, among many changes, promoted several youth academy players and the debut of Dutch goalkeeper André Krull.

Our academy homegrowns Caíque, Ryan, Mineiro, and Daniel, alongside their teammates, played a good game and did not feel the pressure against the opponent, dictating the play and creating many goal-scoring opportunities.

The fans were also present at the Estádio dos Pássaros and could witness all the potential of our academy and our entire team.

Laranja Mecânica Arapongas returns to the field this Saturday at 3:30 PM in Paranavaí, where they face ACP team for the first leg of the quarterfinals.

The return match takes place one week later in Arapongas, Saturday (05/09) at 6:30 PM.
