Cruzeiro left Coritiba with a 1-0 win, the game decided by Matheus Pereira's goal in the 66th minute. Coritiba had 19 shots but put only two on target and never found a way past the Cruzeiro goalkeeper.
The match was goalless until the 66th minute, when Matheus Pereira scored from Gerson's assist to make it 0-1. Coritiba pushed for an equaliser but could not find one. Thiago Santos was booked in the 37th minute and Matheus Henrique in stoppage time.
The stats show Cruzeiro carried the greater threat: four shots on target to Coritiba's two, three big chances to none, and an expected-goals total of 2.32 to 0.97. Possession was level at 50-50, but Coritiba's shooting was largely wayward, with nine efforts off target.
