He defeated the 1-0 on Saturday (13), in a duel valid for the 23rd round of Brasileirão, in Maracanã. The goal of victory was scored by Matheuzinho, in one of the few opportunities created by the team from São Paulo. With the result, Timon reached 29 points, rising to 9th place, three positions above the previous one. Already the tricolor carioca remained with 28 points and fell to 10th place.
Before the match, the Corinthian coach lost an important piece: Rodrigo Garro felt the right calf in warming and was vetoed. The midfielder even stated in the reserve list, but had no game conditions.
How was the game
The first half was marked by little emotion. Even with almost every alternative lineup, Fluminense had greater control of actions and sought spaces in Corinthian defense. The two teams, however, showed little boldness and practically did not end. 0 to 0 seemed to meet the expectations on both sides.
Second time
After the break, coach Dorival Júnior promoted changes, putting Yuri Alberto in place of Kayke, who had a discreet performance. The strategy, however, did not bring the expected result, and Fluminense followed with slight superiority. In an attempt to change the scenario, the Corinthian coach launched Ángel Romero in place of defender Matheus Bidu, reinforcing the offensive sector.
Corinthians was still having difficulty driving the opponent from their field, but found the solution on the set ball. At 29 minutes, Matheuzinho crossed to the area and the ball passed all, including goalkeeper Fabio, who could not avoid the goal. Initially, the arbitration recorded the move as deviation from André Ramalho, who projected himself towards the ball. The goal, finally, brought a little more emotion at the outset.
