Watch: Marcelo Cirino's Audacious Assist Ices Copa Do Brasil Title

When a team leads in the waning seconds of a cup final, it's customary for players to dribble to the corner, kill off the clock and bleed out the remaining seconds until that final whistle blows. Athletico Paranaense's Marcelo Cirino doesn't play by those rules.

Cirino assisted Rony in the seventh minute of stoppage time for the clinching goal in the Copa do Brasil final, lifting Athletico Paranaense to a 3-1 aggregate win over Internacional and the title. But that doesn't quite tell the story. It's how Cirino assisted Rony that makes the goal so special.
