With this result, Galo may even lose by three goals difference, next Wednesday (27) at Castelão stadium, which reaches the big decision. For Fortaleza, only a triumph with a five-goal advantage guarantees the classification in the 90 minutes. In case of victory by four goals from the Tricolor do Pici there will be a penalty shootout.
The home team started the match at high speed, and got a three-goal advantage in the initial stage. The score was opened in the 18th minute when full-back Guilherme Arana took advantage of the ball to catch from far away and hit the angle of the goal defended by Felipe Alves.
Eight minutes later Keno took a corner kick and Rever hit his head to widen. Important goal for the defender, who completed 300 games defending Galo. The third came in the 40th minute, when Zaracho advanced on the right and crossed to Hulk, who, with great category, headed to leave his, thus assuming the top scorer of the competition with 5 goals, alongside Rigoni, from São Paulo, and Rossi, from Bahia.

Atlético-MG maintained the offensive momentum after the break, and in the first minute of the final stage scored the fourth with Zaracho, who took advantage of a bad ball away from Felipe Alves to close the score.
