Atletico turns against Vasco, inspired by Arana, and takes the initiative

The return match will take place on October 19 at 6:30 pm (Brasilia time).. The date chosen by the CBF sparked controversy because the calendar predicted the match on the 17th, and Vasco filed a complaint with the STJD to try to change the procedure.

The two teams will return to the field next Saturday (5). Atlético MG will host Vitoria, at 4:30pm (Brasilia time), at Arena MRF. Vasco will face Juventude, in Sao Januario, at 9pm. The two matches are valid for the 29th round of the Brazilian League.

How was the match?

It was a hectic first half at Arena MRV. Atletico MG started the match pressing, but their strategy went downhill when Vasco opened the scoring with a deadly counterattack that ended with Coutinho’s goal. Gallo felt the target momentarily and took a few minutes to recover, but when he did…

Arana became the name of the first half and changed the atmosphere of the stadium. The left-back was given freedom in the attacking scheme drawn up by Gabriel Milito Ward. He scored a great goal after a good attacking plan, and minutes later he sent a pass to Paulinho. The attacker revealed by Vasco did not forgive him and turned the match against his former club, driving the fans crazy.
