Atlético slip up away, lose to Red Bull Bragantino in Brasileirão | OneFootball

Atlético was defeated by Red Bull Bragantino 1-0 on the night of this Wednesday (04), at the Cícero de Souza Marques Stadium, in Bragança Paulista, during the second round of the Brazilian Championship. As in other commitments of the season, Galo once again presented a first half below expectations, went into the break at a disadvantage, and despite improvement in the final stage, could not react on the scoreboard.

The only goal of the match was scored by Gustavinho, with a shot from the edge of the area, still in the first half, securing the triumph for the São Paulo team in front of their fans.

In the second half, Atlético had more offensive presence and began to control more of the game's actions. The Minas Gerais team ended the match with 53% ball possession, against Red Bull Bragantino's 47%, in addition to a wide advantage in the number of corners: 12 to 6. Despite this, effectiveness was lacking. The home team was more aggressive in finishing, with 19 shots, while Galo finished 11 times over the 90 minutes.

Unlike other matches of the year, where they managed to chase the result after a poor start, Atlético did not find the strength for a comeback and ended up leaving Bragança Paulista without points.

With the result, Galo remains with only one point earned in the first two rounds of the Brazilian Championship. Meanwhile, Red Bull Bragantino maintains a 100% success rate, totaling six points in two games played.

Atlético returns to the field next Saturday (07), when they host Athletic at Arena MRV, at 6:00 PM, for the 7th round of the Minas Gerais Championship. For the Brasileirão, the next commitment will be on Wednesday (11), also at home, against Remo, at 8:00 PM.
