With the point won at home, Galo reached seven points. Coxa was in seventh position with four points.
Atlético-MG opened the scoring in the 22nd minute of the first half, in a quick counterattack that ended in a pass from Hulk to Ecuadorian striker Jefferson Savarino, who, from inside the area, hit first-time goalkeeper Alex Muralha’s exit.
The second came in the 35th minute, when Guilherme Biro failed to intercept a throw and the ball fell to Savarino, who dribbled Muralha and finished with freedom.

However, in the final stage, Coritiba improved and managed to decrease in the 16th minute, with Igor Paixão taking advantage of the leftover ball. At 32 minutes Igor changed the role, going from arrow to bow. The striker made a good move on the left and crossed to the middle of the area, where Adrián Martínez did not forgive to close the scoring.
Here comes Igor, full of Passion!
