The majestic
First time
Corinthians had an impeccable first half in Itaquera. Vagner Mancini’s team created chances in well-organized counterattacks and did not let leader São Paulo play, much less submit.
In the eighth minute, Timão mounted a quick counterattack, swinging the ball from foot to foot until it hit Cazares, who rolled towards Léo Natel in the middle of the penalty area. The forward, however, sinned in the conclusion and missed the good opportunity created.
After the play, despite much movement, the Corinthians team only created a good play again at 24, when Majestoso’s first goal came out. From the defense field, Cantillo gave a beautiful pass to Otero, who advanced and in a few touches crossed to the left, crossed, to the back of the net.
Otero himself returned to take danger in a free kick at 31, but the ball went over the top. Six minutes later, Léo Natel took possession in the attack field and took advantage of an opportunity from outside the area, but the ball passed near Volpi’s left post and went over the end line.
Before the final whistle, Cantillo felt muscular discomfort and gave way to Camacho on the field. It was the last action of the first half.
Second time
Satisfied with what he saw in the first stage, Vagner Mancini made no changes during the break and Corinthians returned to the second half with the same formation that started the classic.
Timão maintained the same intensity as the first 45 minutes. The first good arrival came at 13 minutes. Camacho recovered the ball in the attack field and shot Cazares. The Ecuadorian rolled towards Ramiro, who finished from inside the area, but sent him out.
Mancini moved his team again in the 17th minute. With muscular discomfort, Léo Natel went to Gustavo Mosquito to enter the offensive sector. In the sequence, Reinaldo took a free kick and, after deflecting the barrier, forced Cássio to make a nice defense and send it to a corner.
At 30 minutes, an incredible move occurred in the Neo Química Arena. Volpi came out playing alone and Cazares regained possession. In the rest, Camacho received the ball, invaded the area, but was caught at the moment of finishing and the ball went over the baseline. The rival goal was left without a goalkeeper!
Later, Mateus Vital, Lucas Piton and Luan entered the Ramiro, Cazares and Otero squares, respectively. Little happened after this play and Corinthians beat leader São Paulo 1-0.
