Cruzeiro is experiencing a great phase in defense.
With the 2-0 victory over Atlético-MG this Wednesday (27th), the Raposa reached five consecutive games without conceding a goal in the Copa do Brasil.
It is simply the longest streak in the club's history in the competition.
Cruzeiro debuted in the 2025 Copa do Brasil with a victory over Vila Nova by 2-0, in the third phase. In the return match, they won 3-0 in Goiânia.
In the round of 16, they drew 0-0 with CRB at home but won 2-0 in Alagoas.
O Cruzeiro não sofre gols há cinco partidas na Copa do Brasil — É a maior sequência de jogos sem sofrer gols da HISTÓRIA do clube na competição.

🧐 But what is the secret to this solidity?
With good positioning and few errors, the celestial defense has proven to be strong with Villalba and Fabricio Bruno, who was called up by coach Carlo Ancelotti for the September FIFA Date with the Brazilian National Team.
This strong defensive moment has been decisive for the team's campaign in the tournament. If they continue like this, Cruzeiro can dream bigger. After all, if you don't concede goals, you're already halfway there.
