Match Summary

The match was played at Arena da Baixada, with Ramon Abatti as referee. Kerwin Vargas had Athletico Paranaense PR in front after eight minutes, and Gilberto was credited with the assist.

Key Moments

Vargas forcing an early deficit put Atlético MG on the chase and set the pattern of lead and reply that ran through the night. From there every swing was about whether the visitors could keep answering.

The dismissal in the 73rd minute was the clearest change in control. Athletico Paranaense PR already held a slight edge in territory, and a man advantage in the closing stages made a late push far more likely.

When the hosts went in front again in stoppage time, the contest looked settled. The reply even later mattered because it rescued a point from a losing position with ten players still on the field.
