Even in the face of an opponent with lower technical quality, Atletico-MG had many difficulties. Especially because the home team opted for a defensive stance, offering few spaces for the team led by coach Cuca.
Thus, Rooster only secured victories in the final minutes of the second half. The score was opened on 40 minutes, with Hulk goal in penalty kick. Ten minutes later Ron kicked from the small area to give the marker final numbers.
VASCO CLASSIFICATION
Another team to ensure the classification for the next stage of the Brazilian Cup was Vasco. Playing at Kleber Andrade Stadium in Cariacica (Espírito Santo), Cruzmaltino surpassed União Rondonópolis 3-0 in a game that was broadcast by National radio.
