Atlético Mineiro are the first semifinalists of the 2026 Copa do Brasil.
They lost a starter before the ball had even rolled, went behind thanks to Kaio Jorge, and came back after going a man up.
Galo were strong, vengeful, and had the talent of the decisive Fred to secure a 2-1 win over their rivals on Tuesday night, September 1, after a 1-1 draw in the first leg.
The spot was sealed in front of 42,992 fans, the biggest crowd of the year at Arena MRV.
The introduction of Cruzeiro's No. 19 had forced the Atlético defender to be substituted in the first leg.
