Atlético Mineiro Women

Match report

Atlético Mineiro women's side defeated Grêmio 2-0 in the Brazilian Championship regular season on Friday. The result comes at a point when the hosts sit 13th in the table, while Grêmio hold eighth place with a comfortable margin above them. And here's the thing — this wasn't a match decided by dominance in possession, but by efficiency in the final third.

Anny Maraba opened the scoring in the 51st minute, giving Atlético Mineiro the lead they needed. A second goal arrived late through an own goal from M. Ramos in the 90th minute, sealing the victory. The hosts made several changes through the second half, bringing on Gisele, C. Ramos, and R. Marques among others. By then, the result was already settled.

Statistics tell a story of two teams creating similar opportunities but with different outcomes. Atlético Mineiro recorded 136 attacks compared to Grêmio's 134, but the visitors managed only one shot on target all evening. To be fair, the hosts showed three shots on target and converted both. Possession was evenly split at 49 per cent to 51, but the numbers don't capture who took their chances.

The table situation remains unchanged, but the points matter more than position. Atlético Mineiro need the points badly as they fight to climb out of the bottom half. Grêmio, meanwhile, continue to hold their ground in eighth place, six points clear of the drop zone. The gap between them and the hosts remains 11 points after 17 games each.
