The first half was fiercely contested in heavy rain, which hampered both teams’ attacking play. With the pitch waterlogged, clear-cut chances were scarce, and the score remained goalless at halftime.
In the second half, Itabirito took the lead in the 70th minute through Bruna Victória, who converted a penalty awarded for an alleged handball by Diovanna, a decision disputed by Atlético.
The Vingadoras responded just six minutes later. In the 76th minute, Anny Marabá, who had replaced Pimenta, capitalized on a mistake as the opposition played out from the back, won possession, drove forward, dribbled past the defense and fired into goalkeeper Marcelle’s right-hand corner to level the score.
The draw secured Atlético’s place in the Campeonato Mineiro Feminino final, where they will face Cruzeiro.
