a Corinthians a necklace Red Bull Bragantino In the last minutes and won 1-0 on the icy night of the day (29), in the Neo Química Arena, in the 24th round of Brazil. Gustavo Mosquito scored the winning goal, Cassio was the hero in the final minutes, and Alfinegro cut the distance to eight points to lead the competition.

The victory rehabilitates Corinthians after three consecutive setbacks in Brazil. With 42 points, he is eight points behind the leader Palmeiras, and maintains his position in G4 and on Sunday (4), Internacional faces a direct confrontation with the same result. Bragantino, in turn, went four rounds without a win and is in the middle of the table.

Corinthian performance: unnecessary worries

It was a solid 30 minutes until Mosquito’s goal, Corinthians’ best period of the match. The team controlled the ball, frequented the area and could have scored earlier if they were more careful on the last pass. In general, Bragantino bothered a lot and stole balls near the area, but gave too much space when he couldn’t intervene right away. He choked in the second half when he stopped passing the ball from side to side.

Bragantino’s performance: No whimsy to equalise

When it was closed, Bragantino preferred to start playing more without the ball and only changed position when he was late on the scoreboard. The team missed minor passes, some of them dangerous, but managed to take the risk and had better luck if he did not miss the opportunities that were created. There was a volume of play, but I lacked whimsy.

All goes well: Fausto Vera simplifies

Own a center line, making the intricate look simple. He always makes forward passes, making the movement develop. The game also summons and disarms the opposing pressure. In the first half, he knocked out the ball by bouncing the body. An honorable mention of De Queiroz, who had more freedom, appeared more and was not the best on the field because he stopped the position in an attempt that could have increased the score.

Sorry: Luan Cândido below

Corinthians’ goal was from behind his back, cutting the scoring and leaving Mosquito completely empty inside the area. In fact, he had struggled a lot to distinguish the Venégro wing. In the second half, he made a mistake leaving the opponent alone in a cross, but he was lucky because the Corinthians player made a mistake.

Corinth dominates and creates opportunities

From the start, Corinthians imposed their rhythm and controlled the midfield to put pressure on him. There were several dangerous passes, pressure on Bragantino’s ball output and tackles already close to the area. Bragantino pushed so much that in a first-half move he had to attack eight opponents inside the area. However, he created chances: Yuri Alberto missed a good opportunity in the 21st minute. Mosquito scored 30 points; De Queiroz was endangered in a singles match at 48.

Mosquito insist until opening the scoreboard

Gustavo Mosquito wasn’t the best on the field until he scored, but he was already showing a lot. In one shot, he flopped alone with the ball and let it pass through the side; In another match, he cleaned up the defenses well in speed but gave a very poor pass at the time of the assist. In the 30th minute, after a move by Róger Guedes, the rebound was left clean for him to straighten his body and pick a corner and put the Corinthians ahead.

Bragantino is sharp and dangerous

The visiting team spent half an hour more on defense than attacking, but became even more daring after their own goal conceded. He was already in danger with Eric Ramirez and especially Artur, who nearly opened the scoring at Cavadina, and the flaw gave Bragantino more urgency to get out from behind. The best move ended up being canceled out for offside, but it was just as scary: Cássio had to put in a great defense head-on with Carlos Eduardo.

The roles are reversed in the second half

If Corinthians got the ball in the first half and Bragantino waited on the counter-attack, the situation was reversed in the second half. The drawback made the visiting team attack more, and the game became faster, going from one area to another. Alfinegro ran as fast as he could and made two counterattacks to score the second goal, but de Queiroz stopped at the crossbar and Yuri Alberto kicked badly.

Bragantino’s pressure makes Casio a champion

Corinthians did not solve the match, took his main name from the field (Renato and Roger) and could no longer hold the ball. In this scenario, Bragantino took the lead. He attacked in desperation, with consecutive crosses, but worked to become the protagonist of the game. Artur had another great opportunity in the area, and he removed the play, but sent it off; Then Luan Cândido headed a modest ball, and Cássio turned around to defend. The jersey became 12 champions in the 45th minute of the second half with another header from Luan Cândido that required a superb defense.

Renato, Roger and Yuri get help

In recent matches, the crucial trio of Corinthians have come together to get the best chances, one always looking for the other, and some success. This time they had a little more help: Mosquito tried hard, Du Queiroz hit the post after a Róger Guedes pass, and Fagner was a little more productive. Renato Augusto put in another good performance, while Yuri Alberto wasn’t much, even losing a goal in the second half.

The cold does not empty the ring

Circumstances reduced the attractiveness of the match, but the New Coimica Arena received a good crowd: 36,484 people came to watch the game at 9:30 pm on Monday, with a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius, and the match was supposed to take place last Saturday. (27), but was postponed for two days by a decision of the CBF.
