Match Report

Atletico-MG finally got their 2026 Brasileirão campaign off the mark with a 1-0 victory over Internacional at Arena MRV, thanks to a goal inside the opening minute. Tomás Cuello latched onto a pass from Hulk, drove past defenders, and fired a cross-shot that left goalkeeper Rochet with no chance. The match turned flat after the early fireworks, with the hosts content to sit deep and Internacional struggling to create. Hulk thought he had doubled the lead, but his effort was ruled out for offside. The visitors improved after the break, with keeper Everson producing crucial saves to deny Borré's header and Kaiky's close-range effort. Inter pushed hard but couldn't find the equalizer. The win lifts Atletico-MG to 11th with five points from five matches, while Internacional remain rooted in 18th on just two points — a worrying start for Paulo Pezzolano's side.
