Cruzeiro won 3-2 against Botafogo in an exciting match, with the winning goal coming in stoppage time. But for one of the home team’s supporters, the strongest memory of the night was having his car accidentally stuck in the parking lot of the Mineirão in an unusual manner.
The driver made a mistake in the exit and ended up with his vehicle stuck on the stairs. Fortunately, both the man and his wife and child who were traveling with him emerged unharmed.

“I don’t usually come to the stadium often. I saw an exit sign and thought I could go through there. Then I fell down the stairs with the car,” he said in statements to local media, although he declined to be interviewed.
Hours after the accident, the firefighters arrived and tied a rope to the back of the car to be able to remove it. After the rescue operation, the vehicle worked without any problems, so it was returned to the owner to go back home.
A victory that brought relief to Cruzeiro
The win brought some relief to the institution of former soccer star Ronaldo Nazário after a difficult few weeks. They lost the final of the Campeonato Mineiro to their classic rival, Atlético Mineiro, and only managed to secure two draws in their first matches in the Copa Sudamericana.
Coach Nicolás Larcamón was dismissed after almost four months in charge, and in his place, the management chose Fernando Seabra, with a contract until the end of 2024.
