The Atletico Mineiro took a big step towards the hexa championship by thrashing América-MG 4-0 on Saturday, 8. The advantage is very large for the second game, when the team can lose by up to three goals and still be champion.

What happened?

The game started with intense marking, but changed from the seventh minute, when the first goal of Atletico Mineiro came out. Guilherme Arana scored the first goal and Lyanco scored two goals.

Why is this important for Atletico Mineiro?

The thrashing was built without their biggest star, Hulk, who, with a muscle injury, ended up being vetoed by the doctors. Coach Cuca handed the captain's armband to defender Lyanco, who became the character of the classic.

What's next?

The return game will be played next Saturday, 15, at 16:30, at Independência. Atletico Mineiro only needs a draw to win the mineiro championship.
