Atlético-MG recovers from stumble and wins at Mineiro

After being tied in the previous round, the Atlético-MG beat Itabirito this Saturday, 17th, for the Campeonato Mineiro. The goals of the game were scored by the Argentine midfielder Battaglia and for Hulkwho helped Galo Doido secure three more points in this first phase of the competition.

The start of the game was warm and without many chances for either side, but the first scare was Itabirito, who saw Da Silva make a mistake after a corner kick, but ended up going wide. Paulinho even responded for the home team by dribbling two, but ended up finishing off-balance, also out of goal.

In the 41st minute, Galo had a good set piece play to take the lead. The ball was launched at the second post and found the head of Bruno Fuchs, who sent it into the middle of the area and saw Battaglia just complete it to open the score before the break.

In the second stage, the teams alternated to pose danger to the opposing goalkeepers, until after seven minutes the defender Rayan Ribeiro left Itabirito with one less after being expelled from the game. This gave greater peace of mind to Atlético, who began to control the match and look for the right moments to increase their advantage.

In the end they succeeded, as Hulk took advantage of the Rubens and sent it into the net, allowing Atlético-MG to recover from the midweek draw against Tombense, to continue leading your group. Meanwhile, the visitors lost the chance to move up to second place and are in second place in their group.

This is the state of the Mané Garrincha pitch, where Atlético-MG and Itabirito are playing for the Campeonato Mineiro.

The most expensive stadium in the World Cup, which cost the public coffers R$1.5 billion. Unfortunate.
