Playing away, Cruzeiro dominated the actions against Corinthians at the Neo Química Arena. This was because the club, led by Portuguese coach Leonardo Jardim, had more ball possession and shots during the 90 minutes. In total, there were 13 shots compared to just seven from the São Paulo team.

Thus, Cruzeiro reached 34 points and cannot be overtaken until the end of the 16th round of the Brazilian Championship. However, it is worth mentioning that the team from Belo Horizonte has two more matches than Flamengo at this point in the competition.
