Key Moments

Scoring so early put the burden on Corinthians SP for the rest of the match. They had to come forward, and that task shaped every spell that followed, including a heavy share of possession that never produced a first-half goal.

The late swing mattered more than any other passage. A second home goal looked like the seal, then the almost immediate reply turned the last ten minutes into a rearguard. Corinthians SP had a window to take a point and could not take it.

A run of cautions after the interval, including bookings for Rodrigo Villagra, Paulo Lucas Santos de Paula, Gustavo Henrique, Rodrigo Garro, and Gabriel Mercado, kept breaking up play. With no red cards, both teams finished with eleven, but the stoppages did not help the side that needed a late equalizer.

Match Statistics
