Supported by more than 53,000 fans, Galo dominated the match from the start. Cuca set up his team in order to pressure the exit of the ball by Hurricane, who had a lot of difficulty finding spaces to create something.
But the score was opened in a set-piece play. On minute 20, Argentinian Zaracho crossed and the ball hit Léo Cittadaini's arm. The referee then awarded a penalty, which was charged with perfection by Hulk, who extended his lead in the artillery in the Copa do Brasil, now with 7 goals.

Even with the advantage, the Minas Gerais team continued to dictate the pace of the game. Thus, it expanded in the 34th minute, when Keno received it in the intermediate, got rid of the marking and hit the entrance of the area placed to beat goalkeeper Santos.

In the final stage, the highlight was the Chilean Vargas, who took the place of Diego Costa still in the initial stage. The forward scored the third after 10 minutes: Thiago Heleno missed the ball and allowed Hulk to dominate, who went to the end line and crossed. Santos palmed the ball and the ball was left for Galo's shirt number 10 to brace freely.
The Chilean returned to shine in the 23rd minute, when he scored the fourth after a pass from Nacho.
