For over 61,000, Fox suffocates the rooster, but no goal. Therefore, it is 0-0. Loses the possibility of taking the second classified of Serie A
This Sunday 18/5, in front of an audience of 61,106 fans, Cruzeiro received athletic for another classic miner, in Mineirão. For the 9th Serie A round of Brazilirão, the fox was far superior, suffocating the rooster. He had a lot of volume, with 55% possession of the ball, 22 to 7 in finishes and 15 to 1 in the corner. But all this superiority did not involve objectives, not even with the support of the fans. Therefore, in the end, the fox regretted having left the field only with a draw from 0 to 0.
With the result, Cruzeiro has lost the opportunity to conquer the vice-law, while he reached 17 points and occupies third place, behind Palmeiras (22) and Flamengo (18). Atletico, in turn, must celebrate the won point. The team has reached 13 points, but only occupies the ninth place.
In the first half, best cruise
The cruise was much higher than Atletico. Although the rooster has a slightly larger possession (52%), the celestial team was much more offensive, ending 12 times against only two of the athletics. What weighed against the rooster was that the team did not adapt to the field and depended too much on Rubens in creation. When he was moved to the side after Arana’s departure, injured in 17 minutes, the team lost his dispute in midfield once and for all.
In turn, Cruzeiro played more through the center than for the hips – and did well. He had two great possibilities: one with Lucas Silva, who hit the crossbar, and one in a header Villalba who passed very close. Already Atletico had only a clear possibility, in a Ron’s kick that Cassio defended safely. However, the first half ended 0-0, but the cruise deserved to go out with the advantage.
Atletico supports the draw in the second half
In the second half, Cuca had to make a change after four minutes. Fortunately, the young Alonso, who already had a yellow card, was not expelled after committing a hard foul. So Cuca chose to put Victor Hugo on the field.
Cruzeiro remained better, but Atlético managed at least to maintain a more offensive position, which prevented the fox from coming to the objective of Everson so often. In the attack, however, the rooster produced little. Ron was more worried about helping in defense and Hulk was still very isolated in front. Over time, even in the face of the highest quality, the fox has sinned in kicks without direction. Impossible to leave 0 to 0
