Trailing 2-1 from the first leg, Atletico took the lead through Elias after 29 minutes.

A one-goal win would have given them the title because of their superior regular season record but former Brazil and Lyon striker Fred equalised from the spot with a VAR-assisted penalty.

The goal preserved Cruzeiro’s unbeaten start to the season and means they have now gone 19 games without defeat.
