🎥 Wonder goal settles Corinthians v Atlético in Itaquera | OneFootball

A 0-0 draw seemed determined to be the main character this Sunday (24) at Neo Química Arena. 

Clear-cut chances were lacking on both sides, making the match even somewhat sleepy for the 42,920 fans in Itaquera. 

Then Zakaria Labyad stepped up to make his mark for the second straight game.

And, with a stunner from the foreigner, Corinthians beat Atlético Mineiro 1-0. 

The match was part of the 17th round of the Brasileirão. 

Disallowed goal and little excitement

There was a certain balance between the sides before halftime — although the home team had more possession.

Corinthians, for example, lacked creativity to break into the opposition box.

Atlético even scored, but Cuello was in an offside position.

Attempts and... WHAT A GOAL!

Diniz turned to Kaio César (replacing Lingard) right at the start of the second half. That was followed by the expected return of Memphis.

Minda, meanwhile, was Eduardo Domínguez's first change.

The lack of real chances on either side led to more substitutions. But the picture did not change. 

Galo's counterattacking attempts did not turn into dangerous opportunities.

Corinthians only really threatened in the 86th minute, when Matheuzinho tried his luck from outside the box. 

Then the same right-back crossed for Labyad to hit it first time and score a STUNNER, leaving Everson with no chance (88').

It was the eighth goal conceded by Galo in the final 15 minutes of a Brasileirão match.
