How was the game?

First Half

At 15 minutes into the first half, Atlético-MG was down to ten players after defender Vitor Hugo was sent off. The incident occurred when Thiago Maia found Rafael Santos Borré in the middle, and the defender made a sliding tackle to dispossess the number 19, who ended up injured in the play.

After reviewing the play on VAR, referee Alex Gomes Stefano determined that Vitor Hugo dangerously hit Borré's knee and showed a straight red card.

At 30 minutes, Renzo Saravia launched Rony on the right, and the forward entered the area. Alexandro Bernabéi made slight contact from behind, and the referee awarded a penalty. However, after a VAR review, the decision was overturned. Five minutes later, coach Jorge Sampaoli was expelled for excessive complaining.
