Atlético Mineiro halt São Paulo surge as leaders lose top spot | OneFootball

Atlético Mineiro 1-0 São Paulo at Arena MRV on Wednesday ended the visitors' unbeaten start, lifted the hosts from 16th to 10th, and dropped the leaders to second.

Early on, Rafael twice saved from Hulk as Galo threatened from set pieces.

In the 64th minute, Iván Román glanced in from close range after Alan Franco's headed pass following a corner.

Tricolor Paulista dominated the ball but lacked precision, with Everson smothering Jonathan Calleri and later holding a drive from Luciano. Lucas Moura went off injured as the visitors chased an equaliser.

Tricolor Paulista finished with 70.6% possession and 12 attempts, but only three were on target. Atlético-MG registered 13 attempts with four on target from 29.4% possession.

Galo visit Fluminense next. Tricolor Paulista host Palmeiras next.
