Cruzeiro and Atlético-MG draw 1-1 in Copa do Brasil opener

Overview

The first leg of the Copa do Brasil quarter-final derby between Cruzeiro and Atlético Mineiro ended in a 1-1 draw at the Mineirão stadium on 24 August 2026. Keny Arroyo opened the scoring for Cruzeiro, but Renan Lodi equalized for Atlético Mineiro ten minutes later.

The encounter was characterized by high tension and physical play. Atlético defender Ruan Tressoldi was taken to MaterDei hospital following a heavy collision with Kaio Jorge, which triggered concussion protocols. While medical exams confirmed no structural injuries or fractures, Tressoldi remains under medical observation. Kaio Jorge has since apologized for the incident, but Atlético vice-president Paulo Bracks maintained that the action was “malicious and disloyal,” with executives further labeling the conduct as “bad character.”

As a result of the collision, Kaio Jorge faces potential disciplinary action from the STJD, with reports suggesting he could face a suspension of up to nine games for unfair or violent conduct. Cruzeiro’s management countered by accusing Atlético of attempting to “manipulate the refereeing in the courts.”

Further medical updates have clarified the extent of injuries sustained during the match. Cruzeiro announced that striker Bruno Rodrigues, who was transported to Hospital Orizonti following a collision with goalkeeper Everson, has suffered a fractured cheekbone and a fractured rib. He will undergo conservative treatment at the club’s medical facility. Defender Jonathan Jesus also required attention for a shoulder injury.

This followed reports of vandalism and provocative graffiti left by Atlético supporters at the Mineirão on the eve of the game. The tie remains undecided heading into the second leg, scheduled for 1 September 2026 at the Arena MRV.
