Zeiro climb to seventh as Fagner's service downs Internacional | OneFootball

Match in Five Sentences: Internacional lost 2-1 to Cruzeiro in Porto Alegre. Kaio Jorge opened the scoring in the 11th minute, finishing Fagner's breakaway cross into the bottom left. Inter went down to 10 when Victor Gabriel was sent off (59.), Matheus Pereira quickly doubled the lead (64.) before Johan Carbonero replied late (83.). Raposa were efficient, registering six shots on target from 13 attempts. Zeiro rise from 11th to seventh and host Botafogo next, while Colorado visit Athletico Paranaense.

Player of the Match: Fagner dictated the right flank, supplying both assists and producing six key passes to tilt the game in Raposa's favour.

Stat of the Match: Inter managed only three shots on target from 21 attempts, highlighting wasteful finishing despite sustained pressure.

Three Things We Learned: Fagner's delivery remains a major weapon for Zeiro, with two assists and six key passes underpinning both goals. Colorado's crossing volume did not translate, with 33 crosses at 24.2% accuracy and just three efforts on target. Discipline proved costly for Colorado, who finished with 10 after Victor Gabriel's dismissal, ceding control to a composed Raposa.
