Unseen hero salvages point for Atlético Mineiro against Chapecoense

Mateo Casierra came off the bench to level in the 69th minute, earning Atlético Mineiro a 1-1 draw against Chapecoense.

From a corner, the Colombian striker reacted first and swept a right-footed finish into the bottom left (69.), dragging Atlético-MG back into a game that had slipped away before the interval.

He stayed aggressive late on, winning a free kick on the right to keep Galo camped in opposition territory (90.).

In the first minute of second half stoppage time, his header from the centre was clawed away as Chape clung on. He finished with two attempts on target, one key pass and three possession wins in just 32 minutes, a burst of penalty box presence that tilted the tie back towards the hosts.

Galo host RB Bragantino next in the league, while Verdão do Oeste visit Vitória.
