How was the game?

The first half was eventful. Just three minutes in, Kaio Jorge was fouled by Thiago Couto inside the area. Initially, the referee let the game continue, but after VAR review, a penalty was awarded. The number 19 himself took the shot and opened the scoring, hitting the right corner of the goalkeeper.

At 22 minutes, Kaio Jorge scored again. The forward controlled a pass from Kaiki Bruno and found himself free in front of the goal, finishing with ease. Thus, the number 19 reclaimed the top scorer position in the Brasileirão, reaching 17 goals.

Vitória reduced the deficit at 37 minutes, from a set-piece play. Willian Oliveira rose higher than the defense and headed the ball into the net. Cruzeiro's third goal came at 45 minutes, with Kenny Arroyo, who scored his first for the celeste team. After a mistake in Vitória's ball exit, Lucas Romero found the youngster on the right, who shot powerfully into the goalkeeper's left corner.
