The rivalry between América Futebol Clube and Clube Atlético Mineiro, named as "Clássico das Multidões" (English: Crowd's Derby) and also called "Galo versus Coelho" (Rooster vs Rabbit), is a football rivalry from Belo Horizonte, Brazil.

Since América fell back, due to initially refusing to become a professional club, and Cruzeiro surpassed Coelho in popularity – and later, in titles – the derby lost its status as the most important one in the state.

[4] Despite Atlético's initial successes, América was the dominant force in the football of Minas Gerais in the first decades, winning the following ten editions of the Campeonato Mineiro.

[7] Atlético Mineiro was founded by liberal, upper-class students, but from an early age it opened its doors to players from every social class, nationality or ethnicity, which earned it a "people's club" status in Belo Horizonte and in the state.

When América was winning 2–1, forward Murilinho kicked the ball, after which it bounced on a municipal officer and entered the goal.
