On the other side, coach Alemão sent Praia Clube onto the court with Gian Wolverine, Andrezinho, Bazzo, Luquinhas, and Gui Farinho in the starting lineup.

Corinthians struggled mainly against the attacking movement built from goalkeeper Gian Wolverine’s involvement. Even so, the São Paulo side’s best chance in the first half came from Lucas Martins, who hit the right post with a dangerous shot.

In the second half, the match remained balanced until a defensive mistake by Timão changed the course of the game. Lucas Oliveira got into trouble while controlling the ball, leaving the goal open for Gui Santos to give the visitors the lead.

Looking for a response, Corinthians began using a fly goalkeeper and managed to create a good chance to equalize. However, after wasting the opportunity up front, the team conceded a second goal shortly after, scored by goalkeeper Gian Wolverine himself. A little later, Renan Bazzo sealed the score for Praia Clube.

With another negative result, Corinthians reached four consecutive matches without a win in the LNF and dropped to 11th place in the standings, with only four points so far.

Timão’s next match will be this Tuesday, the 19th, in the São Paulo State Futsal Championship. The team will face Pulo Futsal Campinas at 7 p.m. at Rogê Ferreira Gymnasium, in a match valid for the third round of the state competition.
