The forward Rony had his best performance wearing the Atlético-MG jersey in the victory over Sport Recife this Wednesday in Belo Horizonte. The player was decisive by scoring a goal — breaking a drought of more than four months without finding the net — and also contributing with an assist. The performance crowned a high-level match for the number 10, who was coming off a streak of 23 games without scoring.
Besides the goal, Rony was intensely involved in the offensive actions of Atlético-MG against Sport Recife. According to SofaScore analysis, he had five shots (two on target), created one big chance, and was the most incisive player in the Minas Gerais attack. According to performance data, the forward accumulated 0.94 expected goals (xG) and 0.19 expected assists (xA) — numbers that demonstrate his direct influence on dangerous plays.
Another highlight was the player's physical and technical performance. Rony completed the 90 minutes, won 10 out of 14 ground duels, completed 81% of his passes (21 out of 26), and made four successful dribbles in four attempts. He also contributed defensively with three tackles and two interceptions, showing tactical commitment.
With his performance against Sport Recife, Rony hopes to establish himself as an important piece in Atlético-MG's attack, especially due to his dedication and decision-making ability.
