Decisive figure ignites Vitória's late fightback at Atlético Mineiro | OneFootball

Erick halved the deficit in the 87th minute with a right-footed finish, but Vitória were beaten 2-1 at Atlético Mineiro.

Introduced from the bench (69.), Erick immediately gave Leão da Barra a direct outlet, driving at Galo's back line with two successful dribbles and three touches in the box.

He first saw a shot blocked from a Mateus Silva cross (87.). Moments later, he found the top right corner from the centre of the area (87.), turning pressure into a lifeline for Nêgo.

Erick kept asking questions in the fourth minute of second half stoppage time, sliding a pass for Walace to test Gabriel Delfim from distance. He finished with two attempts, two successful dribbles and one key pass, underpinning Vitória's late surge.

Atlético-MG face Cruzeiro next in the Copa do Brasil. Leão da Barra host Vasco da Gama next in the Copa do Brasil.
