Givanildo Vieira de Sousa ‘Hulk’ was the hero this Sunday in the victory with a 2-1 comeback of Atlético Mineiro over Fluminense and that leaves the Belo Horizonte team with 78 points and practically with the title of Serie A of the Brazilian Championship in the pocket.
In a match corresponding to the thirty-sixth day, Hulk scored from a penalty and with a free kick the goals that led to the delirium of the almost 60,000 spectators who gathered at the Mineirao stadium. Defender Manoel had put the Rio de Janeiro team ahead, which is stagnant with 51 points.

The Spanish-Brazilian Diego Costa, the Argentines Matías Zaracho and Nacho Fernández, the Chilean Eduardo Vargas and the Paraguayan Júnior Alonso performed with the ‘Galo’, from coach Cuca, while the Ecuadorian Juan Cazares, the Colombian Jhon Arias and the Paraguayan Raúl Bobadilla were with the ‘Tricolor Carioca’.
Flamengo can only delay alirón
Flamengo, with 67 points and which will play two games during the week, is the only team with a mathematical chance of preventing Mineiro’s title.
The Cariocas come with low morale after losing on Saturday, 2-1 in Montevideo, the final of the Copa Libertadores against the Brazilian Palmeiras, who consecrated the São Paulo team in the Uruguayan capital.
Mineiro’s next game will be on Thursday in Salvador against Bahia, on the thirty-second day and to which he can already arrive as champion or, otherwise, he will prolong his almost certain consecration until Friday, without playing, or for the penultimate date on December 5 when he receives Bragantino from São Paulo home.
