Decisive figure's free-kick lifts Vitória past Atlético Mineiro | OneFootball

Renato Kayzer whipped in a free-kick in the 20th minute to set Vitória on their way to a 2-0 win over Atlético Mineiro.

He drilled a right-footed set piece into the bottom-left corner (20.), giving Leão da Barra an early platform in a game short on clear chances.

After the restart, he kept pinning the line and was flagged offside (60.). He was caught again soon after (62.) and then made way (67.) as Atlético-MG chased.

Kayzer finished with one attempt, one on target, plus two clearances and a recovery, an efficient return that underlined his work rate for Nêgo.

With Leão da Barra seeing 33.2% of the ball, his set piece quality and willingness to battle kept Galo uncomfortable and ensured the hosts controlled the key phases.

Leão da Barra rise from 16th to 11th. They visit Grêmio next. Galo drop from 13th to 15th. Atlético-MG host São Paulo next.
