Crucial in the match, Cássio hails vital away win for Cruzeiro

With two decisive saves in stoppage time, goalkeeper Cássio was one of the standout players in Cruzeiro's 1-0 victory over Grêmio on Wednesday night (5th) at the Arena in Porto Alegre, during the 32nd round of the Brazilian Championship. The result kept Leonardo Jardim's team firmly in the G-4, getting closer to securing a direct spot in the group stage of the Copa Libertadores.

After the match, Cássio celebrated the triumph and praised the group's commitment in an interview with SporTV:

“We value the team's commitment, the fans. Our goal is to confirm our place in the G-4 and consequently stay at the top. It's tough to play here, but we managed an important victory that helps us get closer to our goal. Since we are a bit behind the leaders, we need to stop dropping points and see what happens. If they drop points, we can catch up. Let's see what happens in the final stretch.”

The goalkeeper was crucial in securing the result. At 46 minutes of the second half, he made a spectacular save from a powerful shot by Arthur inside the box. Then at 50 minutes, he saved the team again from a close-range shot by André Henrique, ensuring the three points for the team.

With the victory, Cruzeiro reached 63 points, maintaining third place and improving their performance as visitors — they have now earned 25 points away from home, with six wins, seven draws, and only three losses.

Now, the team from Minas Gerais prepares to face Fluminense on Sunday (9th) at 4 PM (Brasília time) at the Mineirão, for the 33rd round of the Brasileirão.
