📹 Fortaleza stun Corinthians with wonder goal, out of Z-4 after 27 rounds | OneFootball

At Arena Castelão, Fortaleza defeated Corinthians 2-1 this Wednesday (3rd), in the 37th round of the Brasileirão.

With no chance of qualifying for the 2026 Conmebol Libertadores through the national championship, coach Dorival Júnior rested some starters in preparation for the Copa do Brasil semifinals against Cruzeiro, next Wednesday (10th).

Meanwhile, Laion needed the victory to take another important step in the fight against relegation and thus started the match with full force!

In a high-speed counterattack, Pochettino faced Hugo Souza one-on-one and didn't miss, opening the scoring for Fortaleza.

Vitinho on the left and Dieguinho on the right were the main weapons of the Corinthians attack, but goalkeeper Brenno was in inspired form.

After the break, after Pochettino was stopped by Hugo Souza, Herrera received an assist from Matheus Rosseto and executed a beautiful chip to lob the Corinthians goalkeeper and extend the lead.

Timão pulled one back with Gui Negão, who finished off a low cross from the left by Vitinho.

In the last minute of regular time, goalkeeper Brenno performed a miracle by saving a point-blank header from Romero with his chest.
