Internacional RS beat Coritiba PR 1-0 in the Brasileirão - Série A at Estádio Beira Rio, a home win built on chances and set pieces that never stretched beyond a single goal on the official scoreline.

Match Summary

Both teams started in a 4-2-3-1. Internacional RS went with Kauan in goal, Rodrigo Villagra and Thiago Maia in midfield, and an attacking band that included Vitinho, Bruno Gomes, Johan Carbonero and Alerrandro. Coritiba PR started Pedro Morisco, with Thiago Santos, Sebastián Gómez and Nicolas Fonseca in the middle and Breno Lopes, Pedro Rocha and Josué among the forward options.

The first half featured two early cautions. Hugo Naum Vitinho was booked for Internacional RS in the 18th minute. Tiago Coser followed for Coritiba PR on 30 minutes. F. Mendes was the referee.

After half-time the official score never became a two-goal story. Nobody was sent off. Late on, more yellow cards arrived.

Internacional RS closed out the Brasileirão - Série A fixture with the 1-0 result.

Key Moments

The chance gap was the real swing. Internacional RS finished with 19 shots and 1.62 expected goals, Coritiba PR with 6 shots and 0.64. Expected goals in that range sit close to a one-goal win, which is exactly how the official scoreline landed. That is why the home win tracked the run of play, even at 1-0.

Corners told the same story. Fifteen to two meant Internacional RS were repeatedly winning dead-ball situations. The official score stayed 1-0 despite that pressure, so the night remained a one-goal game.

Coritiba PR put only one shot on target. With so little on-frame threat, the visitors had a thin path to an equalizer, and the 1-0 scoreline held.
