After a very busy first half, in which Atlético-MG even hit a ball on the crossbar with the side Guilherme Arana, América-MG managed to open the scoring in the 5th minute of the final stage with a great goal from forward Felipe Azevedo. The shirt 11 won the match against the Uruguayan Godín, advanced in speed from the midfield, cut to the middle to get rid of Jair and hit with a right to hit the angle.

From then on, Coelho closed in behind, to deny spaces to the Rooster, who increased the pressure. And the tie came in the 39th minute. Mariano makes a beautiful launch to the area, where Ademir overcame Iago Maidana before finishing. The detail is that Atlético-MG shirt 19 was in an irregular position in the bid.
Now the teams turn their attention to the Brazilian, where Atlético-MG visits Athletico-PR at Arena da Baixada on Sunday (17). The day before América-MG receives Juventude at Independência.
