with six.
And how did the game go, My Timão?
The first 45 minutes indicated a balance between Corinthians and Internacional. The Gauchos approached the goal with a minute of play, with a kick from Brenner – from outside the area – that Diego grabbed. The juniors of Timãozinho responded the next time, with Vitinho's kick to the left, which ended in Lucas' hands.
The marking was initially effective on both sides. But the Corinthians found the field of play and gained an extra five minutes. Roni advanced on the left and crossed to Rafael Bilu. The ball ends up being dominated by the attacker, who ends up kicking without much danger.
Alvinegra pressure continued and later, within ten minutes, Roni received a center in the area. He dominated and finished for the goal, but Lucas avoided the first try of the match with a good defense. With more reserves than Corinthians, Internazionale struggled to keep the ball and tried to keep Timãozinho ahead.
Vitinho was able to open the game after 27 minutes. However, the goal was blocked. The match started with Nathan, who was in an impediment position and the referee had already reported the irregularity before hitting the goal.
However, the ball hit the bottom of the net, which was still in the initial phase – and this time. Thank you very much Rafinha received a low center from Lucas Piton at the edge of the box and took risks. The move went directly to Lucas's network. 36 minutes and 1-0 for Corinthians
