Match12 Aug 2026

Cup progress for Atlético Mineiro

A 2‑1 win over ABC, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

A brace, and Alan Minda takes the afternoon — 8.31

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Alan Minda provided it, and the 8.31 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Tomás Cuello

Successful dribbles: 27. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Everson stands alone

6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Atlético Mineiro

Gustavo Scarpa was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad17 Aug 2026

João Teixeira stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” João Teixeira and Atlético Mineiro agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Atlético Mineiro supporters have found a favourite in Alan Minda

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Alan Minda has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match15 Aug 2026

Botafogo take the points off Atlético Mineiro

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Natanael falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

In brief

  • The dugout Eduardo Braga: “No excuses”
  • The dugout Richard gets it from the manager
  • The dugout No place in the plan for Dudu

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Both of them Mateo Cassierra's — 8.43

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.43, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Richard arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Richard has, at Atlético Mineiro, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Market10 Aug 2026

Gustavo Scarpa wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Atlético Mineiro hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Renan Lodi stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Renan Lodi and Atlético Mineiro agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Boardroom10 Aug 2026

Lucas Souza has agreed to leave Atlético Mineiro for nothing

He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Squad10 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Atlético Mineiro

Gustavo Scarpa and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match8 Aug 2026

Mateo Cassierra sends Atlético Mineiro past Bragantino

It finished 2‑0, and it was Mateo Cassierra’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Atlético Mineiro.

Squad10 Aug 2026

A row about effort at Atlético Mineiro

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Natanael was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Nobody could get near Tomás Cuello

Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
