Atlético-MG Edges Mirassol 1–0 to Snap Skid and Climb to 14th

A VAR red card followed by a late injury leaves Jorge Sampaoli managing fresh absences before hosting Juventude on Tuesday.

Overview

  • Vitor Hugo scored the winner with an eighth‑minute header from a corner after Atlético started on the front foot at Arena MRV.
  • Júnior Alonso was sent off late in the first half for an elbow on Danielzinho after VAR review, shifting the match’s momentum.
  • Mirassol controlled much of the second half, but goalkeeper Everson produced multiple decisive saves and said the result restores the team’s confidence.
  • Atlético finished with nine players when Júnior Santos could not continue in stoppage time, yet the hosts held on for the clean sheet.
  • The victory lifts Atlético to 14th on 28 points, with Mirassol staying fourth on 42, and Terra reported that Everson, Guilherme Arana and Hulk received third yellows that would rule them out Tuesday, pending official confirmation.
