Standout star swings it for Atlético Mineiro against Flu | OneFootball

Reinier ignited the night in the 61st minute with a right-footed drive from outside the box, sending Atlético Mineiro to a 3-1 win over Fluminense.

Arriving onto a second ball after a set piece, the forward struck cleanly into the top right (61.), the spark that let Galo play from in front.

He then linked counters and pressed the first line, winning duels and two tackles before making way (78.). That intensity kept Atlético MG's front four connected.

He finished with two attempts, both on target, plus three tackles and six possessions won. Even after Tricolor Carioca's late reply (90.), his earlier strike had already defined the contest.

The threat worked because Galo stationed him on the edge at dead balls, letting him step onto second phases and shoot early, while Flu's block retreated to protect the box.

Galo climb from eighth to seventh in Brasileirão. Atlético MG host Santos in the CONMEBOL Sudamericana next. Flu visit Platense in the CONMEBOL Libertadores.
