Outstanding performance
Cruzeiro•MidfielderVitória took a deserved lead through Renê just before halftime, capping a first period where they matched Cruzeiro physically and looked the sharper side going forward. But Cruzeiro flipped the game almost instantly after the break, with Keny Arroyo equalizing within a minute of the restart off a Kaio Jorge assist, and the visitors never looked back from there. Lucas Villalba's 66th-minute strike, set up by Arroyo, put Cruzeiro ahead for good, and Matheus Pereira sealed it deep into stoppage time after a scramble in the box. Despite Vitória out-shooting their opponents 21-8 and winning the corner count 8-2, Cruzeiro's efficiency and control of possession (57%) and passing (88% accuracy) proved decisive, with six saves from their goalkeeper snuffing out the hosts' late pressure.
