The first half was marked by Corinthians’ dominance during the opening ten minutes. As time went on, Flamengo improved in the match and began to trouble the Corinthians side, mainly through their number 10, João Vitor. After that, the game became very evenly contested, with good chances for both sides and, at the same time, decisive performances from the goalkeepers.

In the second half, Corinthians could not maintain the good performance from the first half and came under constant pressure from Flamengo. That pressure resulted in two goals scored by the Rio side, virtually in quick succession, aided by the inattention of Timãozinho’s defense. Alvinegro even tried to respond, but rarely troubled goalkeeper Gabriel Werneck.

While still awaiting details of the second phase of the Paulista Under-17 Championship, Corinthians’ next match of the season in the category will also be in the Brasileirão. Next Tuesday (18), at 3 p.m. (Brasília time), Timão will host Fluminense at home in the 12th round of the national tournament. The competition leader at the moment is precisely the Rio side.
