The fifth round of the Brasileirão U-20 Série B delivered a goal-fest that kept fans on the edge of their seats, with a staggering 24 goals scored across six matches. The action was highlighted by two dominant performances that stole the show.

Goiás and Internacional both put on a clinic, crushing their opponents in emphatic fashion. Goiás dismantled Chapecoense 4-0 at CT Edmo Pinheiro in Goiânia, while Internacional matched that intensity with a 5-1 rout over Vila Nova at Morada dos Quero-Queros in Alvorada. These results sent a clear message to the rest of the league: these teams are hungry for promotion.

The rest of the round featured tightly contested battles. CRB edged past Brusque 3-1 at Augusto Bauer, and Atlético-GO secured a similar 3-1 victory over Botafogo-SP at Zico Brandão. Earlier in the week, Paysandu notched their first win of the competition, defeating Sport 2-0 at Curuzu, while Coritiba took down Operário-PR 3-1 at CT Bayard Osna.

The round wraps up on Thursday with two crucial Group A matchups: Atlético-MG hosts Mirassol at Arena MRV, and Ceará faces Novorizontino at Cidade Vozão. With the top four teams from each group advancing to the quarterfinals, every point matters. The ultimate prize for these young squads is a top-three finish, which would secure promotion to the elite Série A.
