Galo dominate, draw 0-0 and decide away from home | OneFootball

Atlético drew 0-0 with Juventude on Saturday night (1st) at Arena MRV in the first leg of the Copa do Brasil round of 16. In front of 37,041 fans, Galo controlled the action for much of the match and created the main attacking chances, but could not turn its volume of play into a lead on the scoreboard.

The team coached by Eduardo Domínguez took the field with Everson; Preciado, Ruan, Lyanco and Renan Lodi; Tomás Pérez, Maycon, Victor Hugo and Bernard; Dudu and Cassierra.

From the opening minutes, Atlético looked to take control of the match, keeping possession and occupying the attacking half. Galo tried to create space mainly down the flanks and threatened with aerial attacks and mid-range shots. But they could not get the scoreboard moving.

Now, the place in the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals will be decided in next Tuesday’s (4th) clash, at 7:30 p.m., at Alfredo Jaconi. Whoever wins goes through. In the event of another draw, qualification will be decided on penalties.
