Atlético Mineiro came from behind to beat Cruzeiro 2-1 in the Copa do Brasil quarterfinal, with two late goals overturning an early away strike. The match turned when Cruzeiro's Lucas Villalba was sent off in the 61st minute after collecting a second booking.
Kaio Jorge put Cruzeiro ahead in the 30th minute, and the visitors held that lead until Victor Hugo equalised in the 77th minute with Fred providing the assist. Fred then won it in the 88th minute, with Victor Hugo turning creator, as the ten men of Cruzeiro were unable to hold on.
The stats underlined Atlético's dominance, with 62% possession and 28 shots to Cruzeiro's 12, including eight on target. Cruzeiro's goalkeeper made five saves to keep the visiting lead intact until Fred — who assisted Victor Hugo's equaliser and scored the winner — settled it late.
