Atlético held 3-3 by Remo, still winless in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

Atlético drew 3-3 with Remo on Wednesday night (11), at Arena MRV, in a match valid for the 3rd round of the Brazilian Championship. With this result, Galo remains winless in the national competition: now with two draws and one defeat.

In the season, combining the Campeonato Mineiro and the Brasileirão, the black-and-white team has played 10 matches, with two wins, one loss, and seven draws — numbers that increase the pressure on the team at the start of the year.

Dominant first half, but with scares

As in other matches this season, Atlético showed two very different halves. In the first half, Galo was superior, created several chances, and hit the post twice. Forward Cuello had two clear opportunities but missed both.

It was Hulk who opened the scoring. In the 22nd minute, the number 7 received a pass from Victor Hugo, who made a cut in midfield, entered the box, and finished powerfully with his right foot, leaving no chance for goalkeeper Marcelo Rangel.

Even though Atlético was better on the field, they ended up punished. In the 42nd minute, after a cross from the left, the ball deflected off Renan Lodi and fell to Vitor Bueno. On his second attempt, the Remo midfielder finished to tie the match still in the first half.

Comeback, mistakes, and a last-minute draw

The second half began with Remo more organized and creating the main chances. Even so, it was Atlético who regained the lead. In the 30th minute, Hulk took a free kick from the left side and Ruan Tressoldi appeared in the six-yard box to head it firmly, putting Galo ahead once again.

When victory seemed certain, the script changed. In the 42nd minute, Patrick de Paula led a counterattack and found Yago Pikachu on the right. The full-back shot hard, the ball deflected off Junior Alonso and ended up in the back of the net, tying the game.

In the 47th minute came the hardest blow. Renan Lodi tried to play the ball back to Everson but missed the pass. Patrick de Paula took advantage, dribbled past the Atlético goalkeeper, and the ball fell cleanly to Alef Manga, who tapped it into the empty net, turning the score in Remo's favor. Boos echoed loudly at Arena MRV.

However, in the last play of the game, Atlético managed to equalize. In the 53rd minute, Scarpa received the ball on the right, entered the box, and crossed low. Dudu appeared unmarked to finish into the empty net and make it 3-3, avoiding an even more painful defeat.

Next fixture

Atlético returns to the field next Saturday (14), when they face Itabirito, in Nova Lima, for the last round of the first phase of the Campeonato Mineiro.
