Internacional frustrate Atlético Mineiro as keepers shine in Porto Alegre | OneFootball

Internacional and Atlético Mineiro drew 0-0 in Porto Alegre, a result that lifts the visitors from eighth to seventh in the Brasileirão.

Early on, Matheus Cunha twice denied Alan Minda and Ruan, setting the tone for a night dominated by the goalkeepers. The Internacional stopper then departed injured after the restart, with Anthoni Spier Souza stepping in and holding firm as Galo chased a breakthrough.

At the other end, Everson foiled Vitinho before blocking a Guillermo Maripán header, while his back line piled up 44 clearances as Inter loaded the box late on.

Ten minutes of second half stoppage time were signalled as Inter surged again, but Paulinho's close-range effort was saved and Niclas Eliasson saw a shot blocked in the crowded area.

Inter finished with 21 attempts and six corners, but found the target only three times. Galo produced 11 attempts with five on target and won 56.9% of the duels.

The result keeps Inter 16th with 25 points. Next, Inter host Grêmio in the Copa do Brasil. Galo visit Cruzeiro in the Copa do Brasil before a league meeting with Vitória.
