  "account": "In the Mineiro derby, Atlético's center-back Ruan suffered a nasty fall just 18 minutes into the clash against Cruzeiro in the Copa do Brasil quarter-finals first leg. The incident occurred after Ruan was hit by Kaio Jorge. Despite initially trying to continue, Ruan was eventually substituted due to the severity of his injury. The incident drew significant attention and concern. Flávio Rodrigues de Souza, the Atlético referee, did not issue a yellow card for the challenge. Ruan received treatment on the field but later returned to the game, but his condition deteriorated and he had to be substituted again in the 18th minute. Atlético was already down to 10 men, having lost Lyanco and Léo Duarte earlier in the match. In response to the injury, coach Edardo Domínguez brought on 18-year-old Vitão as a substitute. The Galo team activated their concussion protocol, allowing both teams a total of six substitutions. This article was translated into English by an AI and the original version is available in Portuguese here.",
