Finally, Atlético-MG would return to the pitch next Saturday, against Grêmio. However, due to the serious situation in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, the match was postponed. Thus, Galo will play Peñarol-URU next Tuesday, in the fifth round of the Libertadores group stage. The ball rolls at 7pm (Brasília time), at the Campeón del Siglo Stadium. Rosario Central faces Argentinos Juniors-ARG this Friday, in the first round of the second phase of the Argentine Championship.
Oh goal
Atlético-MG looked for the winning goal at the end of the match, in the 42nd minute, with striker Paulinho. The player took advantage of Vargas’ backward pass and, inside the area, finished to the right side of goalkeeper Jorge Broun.
