📹 Vitória defence clown around for Atlético-MG goal, watch
Atlético-MG defeated Vitória 2-1 in the opening match of the 2026 Brasileirão Round 25. The game was marked by defensive errors from Vitória, allowing Atlético-MG to secure a victory and climb to seventh place in the standings.
Why it matters
The result significantly impacts the league standings and momentum for both teams as they prepare for crucial Copa do Brasil quarterfinal matches.
At Arena MRV, Atlético-MG defeated Vitória 2-1 this Saturday (29) in the match that opens Round 25 of the 2026 Brasileirão.
Galo's first goal was scored by forward Thiago Borbas in the opening half.
But besides the Uruguayan wearing No. 18, the other "actors" in Atlético's goal looked like they were taking part in a scene from "Os Trapalhões" (Didi, Dedé, Mussum and Zacarias, remember them?).
After a corner kick, goalkeeper Lucas Arcanjo and center-back Cacá got in each other's way while trying to clear the danger.
Right after that, Reinier challenged the defender and ended up providing the assist for Thiago Borbas.
However, Atlético-MG's Uruguayan striker only managed to end his frustrating one-year goal drought thanks to an unbelievable whiff by Argentine full-back Emanuel Brítez.
