Atlético missed a great opportunity to widen the gap from the relegation zone of the Brazilian Championship. Playing at Arena MRV on Tuesday night (30), Galo ended in a 0-0 draw with Juventude, at the opening of the 26th round.
During the 90 minutes, plus stoppage time, Atlético was better, pressed hard, and suffered little defensively, but couldn't score. Galo had 71% possession, 13 shots, and hit the post twice with Rony. On the other side, Gabriel Delfim had little work and needed to make only one save.
Overall, once again, Atlético's attack lacked sharpness. While defensively the team showed security again, reaching their third consecutive game without conceding a goal (two in the Brasileirão and one in the Copa Sudamericana), offensively the team held the ball a lot but failed to create many clear chances to score. Besides Rony's two shots hitting the post, Atlético forced goalkeeper Jandrei to make only two saves.
It's important to note that all this happened against an opponent that hadn't gone 90 minutes without conceding a goal since July. Juventude is still, in this Brasileirão, the team that has conceded the most goals and the second worst in performance as a visitor.
With the result, Galo surpassed Corinthians in the Brazilian Championship standings, reaching 13th place with 29 points. They are 6 points ahead of Juventude, the first team in the relegation zone, which has 23.
However, Atlético, which has fewer matches played, can still be overtaken by 3 teams this round. Besides Corinthians, Internacional and Santos can surpass Galo in the standings. The team from São Paulo travels to Porto Alegre to face Inter. Meanwhile, Peixe hosts Grêmio at Vila Belmiro.
In the next round, Galo goes to Rio de Janeiro to face Fluminense on Saturday (04) at 6:30 PM. The match will take place at Maracanã Stadium. Meanwhile, Juventude will host Ceará on Sunday (05) at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium.
