Who follows the coach’s interviews after the game Jorge Sampaoli He got used to hearing him say the word “forceful” to define offensive plays that, well executed, lead to goals. Throughout the first part in Mineiro, it can be said that this was what the Atlantic was lost.
As usual, the Alvinegro team owned the ball most of the time, 67% to be more precise. However, the tricolor strategy was more effective. Even with less possession, Fluminense was more dangerous and submitted more times (six against three). During the 48 minutes of the initial stage, Atltico did not hit the opposite goal.
And the visitors – who, unlike several rivals at the Mineiro, did not flinch – were rewarded after 19 minutes. Shot early in the game to replace the injured Fernando Pacheco, the young Caio Paulista, 22, shot from outside the area and scored a goal: 1 to 0. From then on, Atlético kept the ball, but did not have the ability to find the free ends or create in the middle.
Atltico improves, but stops at Muriel
The return to the second half presented a very different scenario for the match. As in the initial stage, Atltico had the ball. This time, however, with the desired “strength”. In the first 15 minutes, the team finished four times. And one of them resulted in a goal: at 6 ‘, Guilherme Arana Finished first, from outside the area. The ball touched the left post of goalkeeper Muriel and died at the back of the net: 1 to 1.
The creative power of the Atlantic remained evident for the next few minutes. With all the line players in the opposite field, Alvinegra’s team pressed offensively and did not allow as many spaces for possible counterattacks from Fluminense, who found themselves cornered. Time and time again, Muriel’s big saves kept the scoring level going.
And the tricolor goalkeeper was decisive in the result of the match, which was tied. It was Atlético’s first game in 15 games for the Brazilian. Now, the Alvinegro team ‘dry’ the third place to Flamengo to, who knows, continue in the lead.
