The match was a true showcase for Cruzeiro, both in score and performance.
The standout player was Kaio Jorge, with two goals and an assist.
Still in the first half, the forward picked up a rebound inside the box and opened the scoring.

At the end of the game, Sinisterra managed to score against the black-and-white net, but the goal was disallowed by the referee.
? Standings
With the victory after two consecutive draws, Cruzeiro reached 68 points and remained comfortably in third place.
In practice, the Raposa no longer risks leaving the G-4, as Botafogo - in fifth place - has 58 points and could only reach 67 points by the end of the championship.
Thus, the Cabuloso secures its spot in the group stage of the 2026 Conmebol Libertadores.
Corinthians, on the other hand, remains with 45 points in tenth place, with no chance of reaching even the preliminary stages of the Libertadores.
Cruzeiro returns to the field next Saturday (29), when they visit Ceará at Arena Castelão, for the 36th round of the Brasileirão.
Meanwhile, Timão hosts Botafogo at Neo Química Arena on Sunday (30).
