Athletico-PR ended up defeated by Corinthians this Thursday, 1-0, in a rescheduled match for the second round of the Brasileirão, at Ligga Arena. Benavídez lamented the chances missed by Furacão in the match and highlighted the team’s “lack of luck.”

“There were many clear chances, the penalty. That’s football, these things happen, sometimes we need a bit of luck and the other side had it today, as they finished once and scored the goal. We can make mistakes, but the game goes on,” he told Premiere.
