Corinthians drew 1-1 with América-MG on Wednesday (4), at the Independência stadium, for the second leg of the round of 16 of the Brazil Cup, and were eliminated from the national competition. This is because the black-and-white São Paulo player lost the first game 1-0 at Neo Química Arena. Today, Timão only played the second half well, when he opened the scoring with Fagner on a penalty, suffered by Davo.
But Vagner Mancini’s team was tied for “the same coin.” The ball hit Lucas Piton’s hand inside the area and the referee called a penalty. In the collection, Rodolfo scored the goal of the miners’ classification.
As Corinthians had already been eliminated in the Pre-Libertadores, only the Brazilian Championship remains for the Parque São Jorge club to compete. In the next round, by the way, Alvinegro will face Atlético-GO, on Saturday (7), in Goiânia, for the first round of the Brasileirão return. América-MG, in turn, will play the quarterfinals of the Brazil Cup, in addition to the Brazilian Serie B.
Who got it right: Davo is still excited
After making his debut as a starter and scoring Corinthians’ winning goal against Internacional by 1-0, last weekend, for the Brazilian Championship, Davo once again played a good game. The striker suffered a penalty that culminated in Fagner’s goal. Before he almost opened the scoring with a good header after a good positioning in the area. Davo, by the way, did not feel the “weight” of the Corinthians jersey. Still acting well, Mancini drew Davo for Léo Natel’s entrance.
Who was wrong: Everaldo and Éderson “impressive”
Everaldo, who took the place of Cazares, injured in the first half, played “very well.” In addition to missing passes and dominating the ball in attack, the forward pouted high in midfield towards Cássio’s goal, leaving the América-MG forward in a position to submit. Fagner saved the ball before entering the goal. Midfielder Éderson, meanwhile, slowed down Corinthians’ midfield. He does not arm the game with throws, nor does he support the attack with vertical movements from the inside. He was replaced at halftime.
Cazares replaced in 1st half
Midfielder Cazares felt severe muscle aches in his left thigh and was replaced by Everaldo in the final stretch of the first half. Number 10 went ahead of the attack with Matheus Davo. With the departure of the Ecuadorian, Vagner Mancini’s team became even less creative on the field.
Game timeline
Despite the 1-0 lead, won in the first game, America-MG proposed the game from the beginning. Corinthians, meanwhile, opted for counterattacks although they needed two goals to qualify without the need for penalties. However, Vagner Mancini’s team did not concede any counterattack. In the first half, for example, the team only made a deep play by Mateus Vital, who ended the play with a pass to Cazares, who preferred to dominate and not finish off, he lost the ball. América-MG found facilities to enter the Corinthians area, but did not open the scoring in the first half due to the lack of technical quality of its attackers. In the second stage, Mancini returned from the break with two different steering wheels. He drew Xavier and Éderson for the Gabriel and Cantillo entries. The team improved, mainly due to the entry of the Colombian. Cantillo raised his head and rode most of the team’s moves in the second half. Timão opened the penalty spot, with Fagner, after Davo was brought down in the area. But Rodolfo also took a penalty after Lucas Piton put the ball inside the area.
Cassio without patience
Goalkeeper Cássio is impatient about the situation at Corinthians this season. At various moments of the match -in attacks or submissions by America- jersey 12 could be observed shaking his head or gesturing with his arms to reprimand the opponent’s pressure.
