Cruzeiro vs RB Bragantino
Match Report
Cruzeiro pulled off a comeback win at the Mineirão on Sunday, beating Red Bull Bragantino 2-1 in Round 11 of the Brasileirão. Christian's second-half winner — a clinical finish off a Tiago Volpi rebound — was the decisive moment in front of 38,674 fans.
Andrés Hurtado put the visitors ahead early, capitalizing on a defensive mistake. Cruzeiro hit back quickly through Neyser, who leveled at 17 minutes with a well-placed finish. Five minutes after the break, Christian pounced on the rebound to complete the turnaround. Nacho Sosa and Gustavo Marques both picked up yellow cards for Bragantino, but no red cards were shown.
The win — Cruzeiro's second straight at home — lifted them to 17th with 10 points, right on the edge of the relegation zone. Bragantino dropped to 9th on 14 points and will look to regroup quickly ahead of their Copa Libertadores home fixture against Blooming.
