Corinthians brought an alternate team to Mineirão and managed to secure a 1-1 draw with Cruzeiro last Wednesday, in the Brazilian Championship. The main individual highlight for the team was defender João Pedro Tchoca, who scored Timão’s goal.

The team’s collective performance in Belo Horizonte was not good. In the defensive line, only Tchoca stood out. Right-back Pedro Milans, center-back André Ramalho, and left-back Angileri, who made his re-debut, all played an insecure match.

Defensive midfielder Raniele struggled with marking. Meanwhile, midfielder Bidon was extremely discreet, as were the attacking duo Vitinho and Pedro Raul.

On the other hand, midfielder André and attacking midfielder Dieguinho came on well in the second half. Another piece of good news from the bench was midfielder Rodrigo Garro, who provided the assist for Tchoca’s goal.
