Vitória vs Cruzeiro

Cruzeiro pulled off a gritty second-half turnaround at the Barradão, coming from behind to beat Vitória 3-1 and end a rough run of away-day results. The visitors looked flat for most of the first half, but a change in approach at the break flipped the game entirely. Renê put the hosts in front just before the interval, finishing off a pass from Matheuzinho in the 38th minute. Cruzeiro responded almost immediately after the restart, with Keny Arroyo leveling things up on a feed from Kaio Jorge. Lucas Villalba then put the away side ahead midway through the second half, and Matheus Pereira added a late third on the counter, both goals coming with Arroyo's fingerprints on the buildup. No cards or penalties disrupted the flow. The win keeps Cruzeiro firmly in sixth place and within touching distance of a Libertadores spot with the season entering its final stretch. For Vitória, it's another setback that leaves them stuck in the lower half of the table, still searching for the consistency needed to chase continental football.
