Vitória seize control as Kayzer's free-kick sparks home lift | OneFootball

Vitória beat Atlético Mineiro 2-0 on Saturday at Estádio Manoel Barradas, climbing from 16th to 11th in the Brasileirão as the visitors drop from 13th to 15th.

After early pressure from the visitors was repelled by Lucas Arcanjo, Renato Kayzer bent a free-kick into the bottom left in the 20th minute to put Leão da Barra in front.

An enforced first half change saw Erick replace the injured Marinho, and the substitute settled the contest with a low left-footed finish (68.), teed up by Gabriel Baralhas.

Galo pushed after the restart, with Renan Lodi supplying a stream of deliveries and Mateo Casierra heading wide late on, but the hosts' back line held firm.

Galo dominated the ball with 66.8% possession and delivered 28 crosses as they chased a response. Leão da Barra managed four shots on target from nine attempts and made 41 clearances to see it out.
