The first Saturday of March 2026 mobilized more than 20 neighborhoods in Curitiba with the Suburbana Serie A and B matches. There were 12 games spread around the city: while the elite of the competition reached the second round, Serie B kicked off the season. In total, 40 goals were scored across the two divisions.

Only four teams have won so far, and three of them still have a 100% record: Capão Raso, Operário Pilarzinho, and Trieste, who are a step ahead of the other teams in the race for qualification. The number of goals also stands out, maintaining the average of three goals per game recorded in the opening round. Read here.
