THE GAME
Atlético-MG opened the scoring after just six minutes of play, with a true goal from Hulk. After Mariano’s release, the ball bounced in the area and shirt 7 took advantage of Diego Alves’ departure to send cover: 1 to 0. Despite the goal, Galo did not threaten the red-black anymore, who managed to take more danger (seven submissions), but without effectiveness.
The alvinegro needed just nine minutes of the second stage to expand the score. After Matheuzinho’s pass error, Nacho kept the ball and played for Hulk, who crossed just as Ademir headed and scored Galo’s second at Mineirão. At 23, Nacho received a cross from Hulk and took the first risk, demanding the defense of Diego Alves.
In the 34th minute, Lázaro scored for Flamengo. After Rodinei’s cross on the second post, the midfielder hit with his right foot and reduced the score. Everson even slipped the ball, but did not avoid the goal: 2 to 1.
