the game

First time

The first half practically started in 1 to 0 For fluorescence. After pressure from Corinthians for the ball, Manuel launched the attack and Fabio Santos lost in his body to Mateus Martins. The midfielder activated Kano who crossed the second post. Arias arrived kicking and Wagner stopped him.

The referee saw normal play live, but was called to the VAR because after Wagner blocked the ball, his sole hit the Colombian’s foot. Abate Abel decided to award the penalty kick and the yellow card to the Corinthians defender. On the hit, Gansu walked towards the ball and knocked Cássio off, sending it into the left corner, while Archer fell to the right.

The start gave more confidence to Fluminense, who continued to exchange his passes on the attacking field and managed to engage the Corinthians defense at times. However, on the best move, Arias ended up stamping Wagner’s last from the edge of the area.

Corinthians managed to get him straight into the field after about 20 minutes, and soon after, he won a gift from Fluminense. Touching Nonato, Andre did not reach and the ball remained with Yuri Alberto. The striker left the mark behind and, facing an unorganized line of the opponent, gave a good pass to Renato Augusto. The midfielder took it from Fabio and made it 1 for 1.

Alfinegro’s goal was a blow this time around for the hosts, who were no longer able to pass the ball easily. Corinthians restricted the match to the attacking midfielder and had more chances than the opponent until the end of the first half.

At their best, Renato stole from Manuel and Yuri Alberto left one-to-one with Nino, but the striker ended up unarmed.

The best show ever in this period was from the hosts. Playing on the right side, Mateus Martins managed to get a good cross and found Kano in the area. The striker hit a powerful header and Cassio made a great save.
