Athletico Paranaense climb to third as clinical edge downs Internacional | OneFootball

Match in Five Sentences: Athletico Paranaense beat Internacional 2-0 in the Brasileirão at Estádio Mário Celso Petraglia. Leozinho struck in the first minute of first half stoppage time from a Kevin Viveros headed pass, then Viveros added a second (60.). That opener tilted the night for Furacão, and Santos' sharp handling kept Inter at arm's length. Colorado had 53.6% possession but produced only three shots on target to Athletico-PR's four. Athletico-PR rise from fifth to third and visit Corinthians next, while Inter drop to 15th and host Flamengo next.

Player of the Match: Santos organised his box and produced three saves for a clean sheet that underpinned the result.

Stat of the Match: Kevin Viveros registered five shots and eight touches in the box, pairing a goal with constant penalty area presence.

Three Things We Learned: Athletico-PR created the clearer looks, with 11 shots inside the box from 14 attempts. Inter were repeatedly caught by the line, flagged offside five times. Viveros is now joint second in Brasileirão scoring on 12 goals, reinforcing his status as Furacão's cutting edge.
