Juventude lose Marco Anthônio

Nothing got past Lucas Mineiro
17 defensive actions and a clean sheet at the end of them. A defender's afternoon can only be told by what did not happen, which is why nobody makes a highlights package out of one and every manager in the division would take it.

No goals between Juventude and Cruzeiro
