Everson praises Atlético-MG’s comeback after Sul-Americana setback | OneFootball

This Tuesday, Atlético-MG took the lead, but conceded a draw to Flamengo in the final minutes of the match, held at Arena MRV in Belo Horizonte, valid for the 36th round of the Brazilian Championship. Everson, Galo's goalkeeper, praised the team's performance after finishing as runners-up in the South American Cup.

“First, I want to talk about our reaction after losing a final. It is very difficult to play, especially against a qualified opponent who was fighting for the title today. We played a great game, we were able to hold back the opponent's momentum, who came knowing they could win the title,” he said to Sportv.

Everson also projected the final stretch of the Brasileirão for Atlético-MG and spoke about the pursuit of a spot in the 2026 Libertadores.

“There are still three games left. If, respecting the opponents, we go after these nine points, maybe we will be close to the G8 and still depend on a spot in the Copa do Brasil,” he concluded.

With the draw against Flamengo, the team from Minas Gerais reached 45 points and is in 12th place on the table. This Sunday, Atlético-MG returns to the field to face Fortaleza at 6:30 PM (Brasília time) at Arena Castelão, in a match valid for the 35th round of the Brazilian Championship.
