Key Moments

The red card for Atlético MG in the 75th minute was the clearest swing. Until then the visitors had kept the game scoreless. A player short, they had less cover in the last quarter of an hour, and Torque's late goals came after that dismissal rather than in an even 11-v-11 finish.

Breaking through only so late still mattered. A lead in the 89th minute left Atlético MG almost no window to recover, which is why home control became a two-goal win rather than a 0-0.

Yellow cards around the sending-off, including one in the 74th minute and another in the 82nd, showed Atlético MG being forced into fouls as they tried to slow the game down.
