Atlético-MG was dominant, at least until goalkeeper Rafael was sent off the field in the match against Santos and left Gallo with one man less from 15 minutes into the game. The team had already scared the defender of the Pez countless times, came out behind the scoreboard, looked for the tie, but did not hold it. In defeat by 3 to 1 (see offers above)However, coach Jorge Sampaoli highlighted the position of the players not to give up in pursuit of victory.
Although he did not comment on refereeing, the Argentine coach gave his vision of the play that led Rafael to red. According to Sampaoli, it was not an expulsion foul, since the play went to one side of the field, leaving the direction of the goal. The black and white archer handed a car to Marinho, who was shooting at full speed after receiving a “gift” from Mariano. Rooster had to play 75 minutes away from home with just nine men on the line.
– Rafael’s move … It seems to me that the ball is going to one side. It does not seem like an expulsion movement, in vain. At my discretion, but it is not me who decides the justice on this issue. The emotional … Playing with one less player in this place, and looking at how the team was looking for, with the capacity they have, seems valuable to me. He never lowered his head and went looking for him. Unfortunately, if he doesn’t convert to a rival goal, he scores a goal in his own. And so it was, ”Sampaoli said.

Atlético failed to convert the countless offensive plays created at the start of the game into goals. With offensive stance, with Alan Franco on the right, Savarino on the inside, with Sasha and Marrony in attack, Galo gave work to Santos’ defense. He scored with Franco when Peixe scored for the first time. But finishing errors were a problem again.
“We were not forceful and we did not defend well some of Santos’ plays, which were forceful when attacking” – Sampaoli.
– We are training, looking for that (forcefulness in the attack). These are moments … Today, in the first 15 minutes, we had 7 clear goal situations, which we could not achieve. Then we were sent off and we played with one less player all the time, against a team that has speed in the counterattack. Unfortunately, the game was played very little, very stopped. We searched, we insisted with one less player, and we didn’t have the luck or the precision to get something out of here – added Sampaoli.
