First Half

Atlético opened the scoring just 6 minutes into the game, with Kelen. The number 7 hit a beautiful shot from outside the box and put the black-and-white team ahead in the derby. Cruzeiro’s response, however, was immediate. At 8 minutes, Letícia received a great pass inside the box and chipped the opposing goalkeeper with a beautiful lob to equalize.

The turnaround came at 13 minutes, from a Byanca Brasil free kick, with a beautiful shot from the side of the field, putting Cruzeiro in front. From then on, the blue team took control of the match, pressing Atlético’s defense and dominating the midfield. At the 30-minute mark, Sochor took advantage of a loose ball in the box to extend the lead to 3-1.

Even before halftime, Letícia shone again: she received the ball in the penalty area, made a beautiful feint and, once again with a lob, scored a stunning goal, making it 4-1 for Cruzeiro at the end of the first half.

Second Half

In the second half, Atlético reacted quickly. At 7 minutes, Amália took advantage of a counterattack and reduced the deficit to 4-2. Shortly after, at 13 minutes, Ingrid converted a penalty and heated up the game, bringing the score to within one goal.

With the score tight, the match became more balanced. Cruzeiro tried to regain control by pushing up their marking and pressing Atlético’s build-up, while Atlético kept pushing on the counterattacks to seek the equalizer. In the final minutes, the Vingadoras increased the pressure, and tempers flared after a foul on Gaby, who was already down on the pitch, leading to a disagreement between the teams.

The referee added extra time, but the score remained unchanged: Cruzeiro 4, Atlético 3.

With the win, Cruzeiro reaches 9 points and maintains the isolated lead in the Campeonato Mineiro Feminino. Atlético, who came into the match with two wins, remains in third place with 6 points.
