📹 Kaio Jorge was clinical as Cruzeiro end Palmeiras’ unbeaten run | OneFootball

Cruzeiro disregarded Palmeiras' hitherto enviable unbeaten away record this season.

Thanks to the lethal Kaio Jorge, Raposa beat Verdão 2 x 1 this Sunday (1), in a pulsating Mineirão with over 58,000 attendees.

Assuming the vice-leadership of the Brazilian Championship after their 11th game without defeat in 2025.

Didn't have time to blink 🤯

The clock marked four minutes and Cruzeiro was already winning by two goals difference.

Thanks to Kaio Jorge, reinforcing his great moment.

The first came after a corner kick.

Soon after, KJ9 picked up the leftovers in the area to extend the lead.

This changed all the tactics planned by Abel Ferreira.

The most possession before the interval was even Verdão's.

Who only posed a real threat at 43', with Piquerez. And then, with Giay in the stoppage time.

Changes, attempts and +

Abel took out Veiga and Flaco - ensuring the entries of Vitor Roque and Paulinho.

And the dominance was all his team's in the final stage.

Real goal chance? Just one.

Palmeiras had impetus and dedicated themselves.

But only reduced the deficit at 87', when Evangelista activated Allan.

He had space and took it out of Cássio's reach.

The pressure intensified. But the victory was celestial from the relentless Lucas Romero and Silva.

There were 14 wins and three draws in 17 Palmeiras' away games until they faced Cabuloso.
