Unseen hero in goal carries Atlético Mineiro at Vasco da Gama | OneFootball

Everson changed it in the first minute with a reflex save, setting the platform as Atlético Mineiro won 1-0 at Vasco da Gama.

He then blocked Johan Rojas's low strike (10.). Atlético-MG's lead followed from a corner (32.), rewarding his early resistance. Moments later he got down to a Cláudio Spinelli header to his left (44.).

After the restart he pushed away Thiago Mendes's drive (46.). He produced his best stop to tip Adson's rising effort towards the top right (77.). Late on, he stood up to Bruno Lopes from close range to keep Vasco at bay (85.).

He finished with eight saves, five from inside the box, plus a high claim, underpinning a match-high rating of 9.2. That consistency denied the Gigante da Colina despite sustained pressure and 26 attempts.

With Galo defending deep and breaking from set pieces, his handling settled nerves and bought territory, allowing Atlético-MG to control key moments without over-committing.

Atlético-MG rise from 13th to ninth and host Bahia next. Vasco remain 17th.
