Rony scored Atlético-MG’s third goal early in the second half, just three minutes in. He received a pass from Alisson, controlled it inside the box, and fired a powerful shot past Gustavo Silva.

Manaus responded quickly with Renan’s stunning long-range strike into Everson’s top corner at 49 minutes. Atlético-MG maintained composure and sealed their victory with Deyverson’s goal at 20 minutes into the second half.

Cuello headed the ball to Deyverson, who easily tapped it into the net. This commanding performance highlights Atlético-MG’s strength as they aim for further success in both national and state competitions.
