Dictators don’t like this
The practice of professional and critical journalism is a fundamental pillar of democracy. That’s why it bothers those who think they have the truth.
Start with everything. In the 3rd minute, the goal was disallowed due to Maximiliano Salas being suspected of being offside. , the defender caught the ball and threw a long shot that looked like a long pass. If that’s intentional, that’s a great goal.
Five minutes later, the score was 2-0: Maximiliano Salas, a precise central defender and a pass from Adrian Martinez in midfield extended the lead.
In the second half, Cruzeiro was more determined, taking advantage of Atlético’s delay in the defense to counterattack.
Shortly after the game started, Brazil took advantage of a short clearance from goalkeeper Arias and narrowed the gap with a goal from Keio Jorge.
With the momentum of this goal and the encouragement of the crowd, Cruzeiro took the lead in the competitive game and he came a little close, but the clean and jerk didn’t last long.
It wasn’t until the newly introduced Roger Martinez scored the third goal in stoppage time that it brought the long-awaited joy to the Athletic team.
