Renan Lodi repeated a gesture he made in previous matches against Cruzeiro. This gesture, where Lodi showed a score of 1-2-3 after scoring a goal, was first seen in the 2020-2022 Série B matches between Atlético-MG and Cruzeiro. Lodi made the gesture again after Atlético-MG secured their spot in the Copa do Brasil.
Lodi stated that the provocation is a healthy part of the clássico, as both teams engage in a friendly rivalry. However, it is unconfirmed whether this is the case. Bernard, a teammate of Lodi, agreed, saying that football is about provoking each other.
Atlético-MG will now move on to the next round of the Copa do Brasil, where Renan Lodi scored a goal in the 2nd half of the match at the 24th minute.
