The Minas Gerais team showed a different attitude compared to previous rounds, more organized in construction and aggressive in marking. Cruzeiro controlled the game and reduced the opponent's spaces. The first goal, in a set piece, opened the way for victory and exposed weaknesses in Esporte Clube Vitória's defensive system.
