Atletico Mineiro VS Montevideo City Torque

Atletico Mineiro have reached the continental competition's semi-final stage for the third time in as many years, with their two prior runs ending in narrow final defeats, first to Botafogo in the Copa Libertadores, then on penalties to Lanus in the Copa Sudamericana. They pulled off a legendary comeback in the quarter-finals, erasing a 0-2 first-leg deficit to claim a 4-2 home win, before their shot-stopper Delfin saved three penalties to secure their progression. Their red-hot form extended to their latest top-flight domestic league match, where they conceded a late 88th-minute goal before firing two stoppage-time strikes to complete a 2-1 turnaround against Santos, with Borbas netting a spectacular 96th-minute bicycle kick winner. Riding a six-game unbeaten streak, they have recorded 15 wins, 5 draws and only 1 loss across their last 21 home fixtures, and that unrivaled dominance on their home ground is their biggest core advantage.
