Galinho keeps impressing in the São Paulo Junior Football Cup. On the night of this Wednesday (07), Atlético defeated QFC, from Rio Grande do Norte, by 3-0 in Osasco, and secured early qualification for the next stage of the competition. With this result, the alvinegro team reached its second win in two matches and took the isolated lead of Group 29.

Despite the comfortable scoreline, the start of the match was a scare for the team from Minas Gerais. In the opening minutes, the team from Rio Grande do Norte had a great chance to take the lead with a penalty kick. However, goalkeeper Pedro Cobra did very well, made the save, and kept the score level, changing the course of the match.

After the decisive play by the number 1, it was all Galinho on the field. With more ball possession and control of the offensive actions, Atlético started to press and was rewarded at the end of the first half. João Teixeira opened the scoring after a good cross from Vitor Gabriel, putting the team from Minas ahead before halftime.

In the second half, Atlético’s dominance turned into goals. Vitor Gabriel extended the lead with a powerful shot, leaving no chance for the opposing goalkeeper. Near the end, Ryan sealed the deal after a beautiful backheel assist from Gutte, giving the match its final numbers.

With the win, Galinho reached six points, mathematically secured qualification, and took the isolated lead of the group. The alvinegro team will return to the field once more in the group stage. Next Saturday (10), again in Osasco, Atlético faces Audax. Whoever wins takes first place in Group 29, and a draw also guarantees the lead for the team from Minas Gerais.
