This was a match that we should have won. 30 shots and only 1 goal, which was a penalty so doesn't really count. Cerro Porteno scored literally at the last second of the game to comeback and win.

Lucas Pratto scored on a penalty after Caceres gave it away. Blas Caceres then redeemed himself by tying the game with a header from close range. In the 92nd minute, Fernando Fernandez scored the game winning goal from a close range effort to comeback and win 2-1.

Next match will be against Tupi.​
 
Clube Atlético Mineiro- Transfers

Decided to let my young star Flavio on loan this season to the MLS side Seattle Sounders. With Carlos now back to our club full time, Flavio playing time would be drastically reduced so loaning him to Seattle would be a great way for him to improve. Also this allows me to look at my other striker prospects in Campeonato Mineiro.​

As best of friends facing off for the first time in a professional competition, it was an exciting game to watch. Since when Estudiantes defeated Cruzeiro in the Copa Libertadores finals in 2009, the bond between Atletico and Estudiantes grew stronger when Estudiantes' Legend Veron proposed an annual friendly between the two clubs.

Estudiantes started the game quickly with a goal just under a minute after Sebastian Dominguez scored a well executed shot. Sherman Cardenas tied the game 4 minutes later after a simple finish from close. Lucas Pratto gave Atletico the lead just 3 minutes later with a fierce shot. Yamilson Rivera leveled the game after taking advantage of Jemerson's error. Elkeson restored Atletico lead after a thumping effort from range in the 52nd minute. 2 minutes later, Dominguez scored an own goal to gave Atletico a 2 goal lead.

Next game will be against URT at home.​

Eron scored on his debut by a well timed shot from close range. Ezequiel Cirigliano scored a well executed shot from long range. Marion scored his 2nd with a good finish from close range.

I finally finished reading this, awesome campaign, keep going, I also love the pics.
Nice to see my team did well too...for one season that is, that second was painful, also loaning out Malcom? I facepalmed so hard once I saw that! *sighs*
Also promise me you're gonna win either the Copa do Brasil or Libertadores this year so you can ****** the Sudamerica title from Palmeiras and smash them completely please? ;) (just to give you extra motivation, Palmeiras is like the Cruzeiro of São Paulo, therefore they must be smashed)

Yes I'm quite aware of the Corinthians-Palmeiras rivalry. My uncle is a huge Corinthiano, so I know how much he hates them (even though Santos really ****** him off). As for Timao in the 2nd season, I never seen a team drop off that badly in my FM career.

My focus is on Libertadores since I was sooooooo close to winning it. Only if I can find a way to beat Internacional.

Thank you for the support.
