Corinthians play poorly, Cuiaba defeats him and may lose leadership

11 unbeaten matches Corinthians. Timão Tonight (07) was overtaken by Cuiabá, 1-0, at Arena Pantanal, with a goal by Uendel. The result knocked Mato Grosso out of the relegation zone in the Series A of the Brazilian Championship and could take Alfinegro out of the lead in the case of Palmeiras and/or Atletico MG After the tour.

As it has been for a few weeks, Corinthians fail to play a good role football. The team was apathetic in the first half and saw Cuiaba more aggressive in attack until he scored the goal in Timao’s failure to take the ball out. In the second half, Vitor Pereira changed the team structure, but Alfinegro created little and left the field undefeated.

With this win, Cuiaba reached 11 points he earned in the table and went into 15th place – now outside the sticking area. Corinthians stand at 18 points and could lose the lead if they defeat Gallo Fluminense, tomorrow, in the Maracana, or Palmeiras beat Botafogo, at Allianz Park, in a match to be held on Thursday (9).

Best: Baby

He orchestrated the climb to attack Cuiaba, pulled off counterattacks and served his teammates well. On the other hand, he gave a frustrating dribble to Cantelo in midfield and was only stopped by a carriage of defender Gil.

Who was bad: Edson

Despite the fact that he was sacrificed by the tactical system when he had to return to the defense field in search of the ball, the attacking midfielder did not shoot almost anything he did not try, did not pose a danger to Cuiaba and even lost the ball that ended in the opponent’s goal.

feverish start

Whoever took a few minutes longer to enter Arena Pantanal missed a good start to the match. Cuiaba took advantage of individual errors from the Corinthians defense, and had two good chances with central striker Andre – the first defended by Cassio and the second with a pass near the post. Even ten minutes before departure, Timão also had a good chance with Gustavo Mosquito, who stopped in the hands of João Carlos.

dead midfield

Corinthians started the match with more possession, but without controlling the match and creating too little in the offensive system. Defenders Robson Bambu, Gil and Raul Gustavo touched the ball the most for Sao Paulo – demonstrating the difficulty of Vinegra in attacking the opponent. Without participating in the match, striker Roger Guedes backed down and tried to be the joint in the team, but without success.

The previous law does not fail

The only goal in the match came from the feet of the Uendel team, Cuiabá captain and former Corinthians athlete. After a foul by Timão taking the ball off, attacking midfielder Adson was disarmed while still on the field of defense and the ball was left to Shirt 6, who dominated and hit the cross, low, hitting the net close to another foot, making any action before Cassius.

Nervous Corinthian and troubled VP

At a disadvantage, Timão tried to move forward in the attack to try to recover the loss in the first half. Due to the disorganization, the team was unable to reach the attacking area and showed tension on the field with Raul Gustavo and Doqueiros hit by the yellow. Before the break, coach Vitor Pereira sent Renato Augusto, Lucas Peyton and Junior Moraes to warm up.

Four substitutions at once

Completely dissatisfied with the football Corinthians presented in the first half, the Portuguese coach made four substitutions in the first half: Renato Augusto, Giuliano, Lucas Peyton and Junior Moraes entered the field at Chargers Addson, Doqueiros, Bruno Melo and Robson Bambu, respectively.

Roger Geddes on the left

With the changes, Corinthians started 4-3-3 and striker Roger Guedes had the opportunity to play on the left side of the attack – a position in which he feels most comfortable. Recently, player No. 9 and Vítor Pereira made behind-the-scenes raids at CT Joaquim Grava precisely because the Portuguese did not play with him in this part of the field.

Only gives koyaba

Reformed and his more experienced squad on the field, Corinthians saw Cuiaba come very close to increasing the score at the start of the second half. The Midwest missed an opportunity with Alan Empereur after a corner kick, and then, André attempted to pass the character in the middle of the field and killed a promising counterattack.

Corinthians balance the match

After the first ten minutes of the final stage, Corinthians found themselves tactically in the match and became the protagonist of the showdown at Arena Pantanal. Midfielders Giuliano and Renato Augusto managed to organize the team and force Cuiaba into the defence.

Statement in the stands and the game is paralyzed

For three minutes, referee Marcelo de Lima de Henrique stopped the match at the Arena Pantanal. Some Corinthians fans lit flags in the stands and held out a banner criticizing the R$200 ticket price. Suspension of the match in such cases is a recommendation of the Brazilian Football Confederation.

Corinthian pressure and Valdivia sent off

In the last minutes, Corinthians launched the attack, “raining” the ball into the opponent’s area, but did not create a single shot of great danger. In a Mantouan dash from the right, midfielder Valdivia knocked him down with a buggy and was given a yellow card. The VAR was triggered, and the referee reviewed the offer and decided to send off the Cuiaba player – who did what he could to hold the defense and secure the three points at home.
