Unseen hero's saves steer Coritiba past Atlético Mineiro | OneFootball

Pedro Rangel set the tone in the 13th minute with a rapid double save and finished with seven saves as Coritiba beat Atlético Mineiro 2-0.

He sprang low to stop Renan Lodi, then tipped Natanael's angled effort round the post (13.). That early command steadied Coxa and foreshadowed a busy night.

He added another sharp stop from Tomás Cuello's drive (32.). After the restart he held Hulk's long-range attempt (48.). Later, he palmed away Dudu's strike as Atlético-MG piled on (67.).

He ended with seven saves, four inside the box, while Galo produced 23 attempts and 76.9% possession. That resilience gave Coxa-Branca the platform to absorb pressure and break when it mattered.

With Coxa defending deep and clearing 34 times, his positioning and handling anchored the shape and kept the visitors' momentum in check.

Coxa visit Santos in the Copa do Brasil next, while Atlético-MG host Ceará in the same competition.

How high would you rate Rangel's performance tonight?
