Atlético-MG's 3-1 win over Fluminense has given the team a much-needed confidence boost ahead of their upcoming match against Santos in the Sul-Americana. The victory was sealed with three goals, with Reinier scoring a crucial one in the second half.
The team's defense, led by 18-year-old Vitão, played a secure game, with the young zagueiro impressing with his intercepts and precise marking. Vitão's performance was crowned with his first goal for the team's professional squad.
Eduardo Domínguez, the team's coach, has maintained his team's style of play despite two consecutive defeats. He has kept the same lineup for the next match against Santos, with Maycon and Lodi returning to the team. However, the biggest concern for Domínguez will be the attack, with Reinier or Cassierra likely to start.
