Corinthians beat Internacional 1-0 (31) today and can help Flamengo take the lead in Brasileirão 2020. Matheus Davo, the gaucho’s executioner since his time at Guarani-SP, was the one who scored the only goal of the match valid for the 19th day, at Neo Química Arena.
With the result, Colorado remains in first place, with 35 points. Eduardo Coudet’s team, however, could be overtaken by Flamengo tomorrow (1). The cariocas will face São Paulo in Maracanã. Timão reaches the ninth position, with 24 points.
Who did it well: Juan Cazares
Once again designated as the team’s articulator, Cazares again appeared well on the field. The midfielder made a beautiful play in the Corinthians goal in the first half of the game. He gave a nice hat to Víctor Cuesta and crossed low for Matheus Davo to leave his mark in Neo Química Arena. Tired in the second half, he left the grass for Luan’s entrance.
Who was wrong: Héctor and Cuesta
Hector did well in recent games, including support. With vigor, intensity. Against Fábio Santos, he was null in attack and suffered a lot to protect the defense. Hanging in Itaquera
Cuesta tried to head the ball that ended Cazares and went to the net. A wrong choice gave Corinthians a huge loophole to win. A failure, but decisive.
Matheus Davo returns to be Inter’s executioner
Carrasco do Internacional in the 3rd phase of the São Paulo Junior Football Cup 2019, when he defended Guarani-SP, Matheus Davo again decided against the Rio Grande do Sul club. Now a professional player for Corinthians, he took advantage of a center from Juan Cazares in the first part of the match to cover Marcelo Lomba’s goal. He only made his third game for Corinthians this season. After not playing for three months, his last appearance was on July 26, the 21-year-old entered the field as a Vagner Mancini bet tonight.
Corinthians performance
Vagner Mancini took a smart stance to face Internacional, the leader of the Brazilian Championship, tonight. Even playing at home, the coach left the team closed in the defense field and going on counterattacks, without giving space to Thiago Galhardo and Abel Hernández in the counterattack plays. The defensive midfielder trio of Xavier, Éderson and Ramiro kept Colorado midfielders free to create plays. Ramiro, the third man in the sector, was allowed to approach the front men – Cazares, Otero and Matheus Davó – in the counterattack movements.
International performance
The possibility of scoring at 18 seconds, with Edenilson free inside the area, gave a false impression. Inter did not play a domination match and did not even come close to recent performances. The kick outside the shirt 8 was the only great opportunity in the duel. The explanation: plan A, stop playing, did not work because of the attitude of Corinthians. Lacking creativity to attack from below, Coudet tried otherwise. The long ball yielded even less. Finally, D’Alessandro, Nonato and Jhonny entered to reinforce the midfield. Still, nothing worked.
Game timeline
The only goal of the match was scored in the 35th minute of the first half. On that occasion, Juan Cazares received on the right wing, gave Víctor Cuesta a nice hat and advanced. He crossed low for Matheus Davo to swing Marcelo Lomba’s net in first position.
