The match was dominated by Atlético from start to finish. Four minutes into the game, midfielder Vinicius, back in the team after serving a suspension, pounced on the goalkeeper’s rebound and opened the scoring for Galo.

Two minutes later, forward Riquelme received a pass from midfielder Callegario, beat his marker, and fired home a fine shot to extend the lead and score his first goal at Arena MRV.

Santos managed to pull one back through striker Luiz Gusttavo, but the afternoon belonged to Atlético. In the 24th minute, once again taking advantage of a rebound from the opposing goalkeeper, Vinicius made it 3-1. With that goal, the midfielder drew level with striker Cauã Soares as the academy’s top scorer at Arena MRV.

At halftime, forward Riquelme said he had been working hard for his goal and spoke about the new role he played on the field against Santos.

Second half

Coming back for the second half, coach Rafael Paiva made only tactical adjustments, without changing any of the players.

Just eight minutes in, forward Gabriel Veneno made a good run and played a great pass to midfielder Callegario, who delicately lifted the ball over the opposing goalkeeper to score the fourth goal.

After providing a fine assist, it was Veneno’s turn to celebrate. Vinicius was brought down in the box, and the referee awarded a penalty to Galo. Veneno sent the ball one way and the goalkeeper the other to score the fifth.

There was still time for one more. After a good move by right-back Vagner Lopes, Gomide tapped it into the net to complete the scoring for the Crias.
