The Corinthians defeated Red Bull Bragantino 2-0 last Thursday at the Neo Química Arena, in the third round of the Brazilian Championship. The stars of the night were goalkeeper Hugo Souza, defender Gabriel Paulista, and left-back Matheus Bidu.
Hugo was crucial for the victory. The goalkeeper saved a penalty taken by Pitta when the team was leading 1-0. Meanwhile, Gabriel Paulista and Bidu, besides their defensive consistency, were the scorers of the black-and-white goals.
However, it's not just the trio that deserves praise. Right-back Matheuzinho and midfielder Rodrigo Garro, who assisted Gabriel Paulista's goal, also had good performances.
On the other hand, the attacking duo Memphis Depay and Yuri Alberto disappointed. The Dutchman was discreet on the field, while the number 9 wasted counterattacks.
