Cruzeiro vs Atlético Mineiro
Match Report
Atlético-MG produced a dominant display at Mineirão, beating city rivals Cruzeiro 3-1 in Brasileirão Série A matchday 14 — a result as chaotic as it was convincing. Alan Minda set the tone with a cool opener in the 11th minute, and Atlético never relinquished control.
Maycon doubled the lead from the penalty spot in the 31st minute after a foul on Minda. With the home side already struggling, Keny Arroyo was dismissed on a second yellow in the 66th minute. Mateo Cassierra punished the ten men to make it 3-0 in the 71st, before Kaiki received a straight red in the 74th — leaving Cruzeiro with just nine players. Lyanco also saw red for the visitors in the 78th, adding to the mayhem. Kaio Jorge converted a late consolation penalty in the 85th, but the damage was long done.
The defeat piles serious pressure on Cruzeiro after a calamitous home showing, while Atlético-MG bank three crucial points to strengthen their Série A push.
