Corinthians wins racing and depends on himself to go to the South American playoff

He keeps the chance to go to the playoff of thanks to the 1-0 win on Thursday (15) about the Racing of Montevideo, at the Centenary Stadium, in the capital of Uruguay. The São Paulo team took second place in Group C and depends only on themselves to advance. Huracán is already the leader, guaranteed in the round of 16. Corinthians must beat Argentines away from home on May 27th. If you lose or tie, you need to cheer for America de Cali to be defeated against Racing in Colombia on the same date. Corinthians now seeks to recover in the Brasileirão. After losing 2-1 to Mirassol, the team receives Santos, on Sunday, at 16h (Brasília). Following, the team defines the place in the round of 16 of the Brazilian Cup against Novorizontino, after winning the first duel 1-0. Before the final round of the South American, there is still a duel against Atletico Mineiro.

Dorival Junior used Yuri Alberto and Igor Coronado to try to improve in the second half. Corinthians even managed to have more offensive presence, but it was lacking effectiveness. In the second half, scenes were common in which the Corinthians complained of faults and even penalties. Chilean referee José Cabero, however, has not pointed to any of the bids. When Talles Magno scored, the goal was annulled for the lack of striker in defender Pinela. The pressure, although disorderly, worked. Carillo, who entered Charles, broke into the area and hit.

The kick was pressed and was removed by the defense. The ball was left to Matheus Bidu, who finished his beak to open the scoring. The ball still deflected in a defender before entering the left corner of Amadé. Even with more exchanges, Corinthians showed no ability to expand. Dorival will have to make adjustments so that the team can secure the playoff place with a victory over Huracán and not depending on a defeat of Cali America, which should be unlikely.
