Atlético kick off Copa do Brasil U20 with a thrashing | OneFootball

Atlético’s U-20 team got off to a winning start in the Copa do Brasil. With a 4-0 rout of Sobradinho, from the Federal District, the Crias advanced to the second round of the competition. The match was played on Tuesday afternoon (8) at Arena MRV.

FIRST HALF

Atlético controlled the game and applied pressure from the opening minutes. Even so, the first goal only came in the 20th minute. After a good play by midfielder Mathias, forward Jonatas miscontrolled the ball, but it fell to Mosquito, who opened the scoring for Galo.

Six minutes later, the same players involved in the first goal combined again. Mathias made the pass, Jonatas dummied it, and Mosquito scored once more for the Black-and-White.

SECOND HALF

In the second half, coach Henrique Teixeira’s substitutions made the difference. Luiz Peu found an excellent pass to forward Murillo, who laid it off for midfielder Mathias. The midfielder then set up forward João Teixeira, who crossed for Natã to score Galo’s third. Of those players, only midfielder Mathias had started the match.

Mathias still had time to take part in one more goal. After a foul on forward Murillo, the midfielder delivered the free kick onto the foot of right-back Luís Gustavo — another player who came off the bench —, who struck a beautiful angled shot to put the final numbers on the scoreboard.
