Alvinegro struggled to break through the opposing defense in the first half
With three goals in the second half, Corinthians made their debut in defeat in the Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior. Off to a blistering start, Matheus Araújo opened the scoring from a penalty after just three minutes of play. After the difficulties, coach Danilo made some changes and saw his team take off: four minutes from the start of the second half, Pedro increased the score. Jean, against, scored the third for the Parque São Jorge side at 10 and Ryan closed the scoring already in extra time, at 46 minutes.
Timãozinho is back on the pitch on Friday 6, at 21:45 (Brasilia time), against Fast-AM, who lost against the hosts Ferroviária. The Alagoas team, in turn, will face the Paulistas at 19:30, also on Friday.
LIGHTNING START
With a lot of movement, Corinthians tried to establish themselves in the early game and after two minutes, after a quick exchange of passes inside, Arthur Sousa tried to circle and was run over in the box. The match referee signaled the maximum penalty, charged by Matheus Araújo. Goal by the Corinthians captain, with a strong shot into the goalkeeper’s right corner.
DIFFICULTY TO DRILL THE FRAME
After opening the scoring, Alvinegro had no difficulty in controlling the match, but found obstacles to score more goals. Zumbi scored compactly and left no room for Corinthians, who circulated the ball slowly and found no openings to attack. At the same time, Zumbi could not disturb the defense of Alvinegra. This scenario lasted throughout the first half.
THE JEWEL DECIDES
In the interval Danilo had to remove Pedrinho, who felt a muscle pain, and put in Wesley. This change resulted in a change of positioning, placing Pedro, previously on the wing, playing inside. And with four minutes into the second phase, the exchange paid off: a move that started with Guilherme Biro, with a pass into Arthur Sousa’s infiltration and assistance for Pedro’s finish. Timão extended the board
RAIN MAKES THE DIFFERENCE
Corinthians continues to press Zumbi, who no longer has the same defensive efficiency and begins to give up space, while the rain becomes more and more intense. With the ball wet, Pedro took a corner at the near post and Jean, from the Alagoas team, deflected against it, doubling the lead for Alvinegro.
TIÃO CLOSES THE SCORING
With three goals on the board, Corinthians no longer forced shots, but continued to control the match with possession in the offensive field. Already in the additions, a new ball in the center is a standard team move. The defense deflected badly and the ball was dropped inside the box for Ryan, who ducked in to catch the pass. With a slap of great class, the attacker closes the scoring: 4-0 for Timãozinho.
