Striker Keno is impossible! The number 11 jersey shone again and was the great name of Atlético-MG in the 3-1 victory against Grêmio, this Saturday night, in Mineirão. The striker was the author of the three goals and passed over the rival, who scored his goal of honor with Isaque. The result was more than enough for the Sampaoli team to isolate itself even more up front, opening three points of difference at the top of the Brasileirão.
Previously, Internacional and São Paulo tied 1-1, with these results the miners are in first place, now with 24 points, while Colorado goes to 21, in second place. Grêmio is left with 13 points and can still lose positions in the second half of the table.
Who Shone: Keno repeats hat-trick
He had already scored three goals in the last match, against Atlético-GO. Now he scores another three goals. Highly criticized for making wrong decisions and finishing badly in his first few games, Keno seems to be at the peak of his confidence at last. Visibly lighter on the pitch, he scored the goals and even helped score well. Honorable mentions also for Jair, Guga and Savarino.
Petkovic “supported” Gallo’s goal and the VAR confirms it
Atlético started the game better and, little by little, their goal matured. Before ten minutes, Galo had already built good chances, while Grêmio had a single submission, head-on and off, from Isaque. When Keno received at the entrance of the area, despite being surrounded by three opponents, the striker cut in half and hit low. Paulo Víctor smashed it aside and the referees let the game go. In the broadcast of the Premiere channel, Petkovic joked that the narrator could already release the goal call, which was only done seconds later, when the VAR instructed the referee to validate the play (without having to go to the booth), since the ball had crossed the line.
Keno becomes goal scorer of 2000
In 2001, forward Marques scored Atlético’s 1000th goal in the history of Brasileirão. This time, it was Keno’s turn to be the scorer of the 2000 goal. Only São Paulo and Santos have already reached that mark before Gallo.
Control of Atlético and Grêmio takes time to get into the game
Victim of Atlético’s top scorer, the Rio Grande do Sul team could barely hold the ball for long. There have been few occasions where players have had room to play and build more easily. This scenario only began to change after the last 10 minutes of the first half, when Grêmio began to increase his score. At 42, Robinho took a free kick and demanded the visitors’ best move from Everson before the break.
Tricolor gains confidence and the game gets excited
The second half started to burn. With confidence on the rise, Keno received (again) the edge of the area, Sasha pulled the mark and gave the teammate room to hit a good kick to make the second of the Gallo. The scoreboard would give the team more peace of mind, but the white midfielder fell asleep in the corner and Isaque took the next minute. It was enough to make the game even more exciting, with Galo pressing on one side and Grêmio becoming more confident on the other, approaching the draw.
Everson proves his worth and Keno closes the account
Since Everson arrived, he has divided the Atlético fans, who enjoyed Rafael’s performances a lot. In this game, the current owner gave new samples of how he conquered Sampaoli. Very good on short and long passes, Everson also contributed an assist. When the game took on a dramatic air, it was his ball stretched out towards Keno. The striker fired into the attack field and touched the exit of Paulo Víctor to score his third goal, taking the victory from Gallo.
