Gustavo Scarpa “broke the drought” at Atlético-MG in April
After going scoreless in January and February, Gustavo Scarpa started to be decisive for Atlético-MG precisely in the month of April, when the matches start to accumulate. The sequence began in the return match of the Minas Gerais State Championship final, against Cruzeiro.
He scored 6 goals and provided 2 assists, being a key player for Galo to have a 100% success rate in the Copa Libertadores and, at the moment, to lead the Brazilian Championship table with seven points.
