Atlético Mineiro vs Chapecoense

Atlético-MG were held to a 1-1 draw by bottom-of-the-table Chapecoense at Arena MRV, a frustrating result for the hosts after dominating large stretches. The oddest moment came in the 20th minute when the ball struck referee Raphael Claus, forcing a brief pause, while five minutes later Fred thought he'd broken the deadlock only to see his effort ruled offside. Chapecoense struck first, with Túlio Eduardo finishing a pass from Marcinho in the 40th minute to silence the home crowd. Atlético-MG needed until the 65th minute to respond, Cassierra converting a cross from Bernard to level the score. Neither side found a winner despite the hosts' territorial control. The point leaves Chapecoense still last in the standings but with a valuable result from a difficult away day in their relegation fight. For Atlético-MG, fresh off a midweek penalty-shootout win over Santos in the Copa Sudamericana, it's two points dropped at home when a full haul looked within reach.
