Goalkeepers’ first half
America-MG and Atlético-MG were 0-0 in the initial stage, thanks to the good work of both goalkeepers. Matheus Cavichioli, on the American side, and Everson, the Atletico, were strong in very important moves and prevented the opponent from celebrating with the ball in the net.

unbelievable bids
Some offensive moves drew attention in the classic from Minas Gerais. Of those called the “unbelievable soccer club”, since the ball did not enter the goal by a miracle. As happened 25 minutes into the match, when forward Rodolfo headed a ball that crossed in front of Everson’s goal, which was lost in the throw. he nodded, but this time the alvinegro archer was smart and defended.
In the 41st minute of the first half, Matheus Cavichioli made a miraculous save with the tip of his foot, after Eduardo Sasha’s point-blank shot. On the other hand, with the goal open, Paraguayan Junior Alonso sent the ball down the crossbar, luckily for the hosts.

Who was wrong: Rodolfo

uncomfortable fast
Striker Rodolfo has been out of the net for two months. He, who entered the vacancy of the injured Ribamar right at the start of the derby, had some chances, but wasted good opportunities and still left the field in the second half for the entry of Fabrício. And the drought persists. The centre-forward’s last goal was scored on May 9, in the semifinal of the Minas Gerais Championship, against the cruise. Since then, he has wasted two criminals.
Athletic star Hulk is also starving for goals. Athletic’s 7 shirt hasn’t scored for a month. However, tonight (10) he was not on the field right from the start, as he was spared by coach Cuca because of the game with Boca Juniors. It entered the 17th minute of the second half and had a good participation.
