It was in stoppage time, with a goal from forward Edu, that Cruzeiro defeated Democrata 1-0, this Wednesday (9) at Mineirão stadium, for the 5th round of the Campeonato Mineiro. With the result, Raposa reached 12 points, taking the lead.

Raposa had a lot of difficulties to add the three points this Wednesday, as he found a very closed Democrat, who did not offer many spaces. Over time, opportunities even arose, but the aim of Cruzeiro’s attackers was not calibrated.
Thus, the score remained unchanged until the 53rd minute of the second half, when Eduardo Brock crossed for forward Edu to head to overcome goalkeeper Lucão.
UHHH TERROR, EDU IS A KILLER!
