Corinthians ratings: Gustavo Henrique scores but cannot stop another defeat | OneFootball

Corinthians lost to Fluminense in the 28th round of the Brasileirão despite a second-half equaliser from Gustavo Henrique. According to Globo.com, Hugo Souza made fine saves but erred for two of the three goals conceded.

Seventeen-year-old Iago Machado read the game well before being replaced at half-time by Gui Negão. Matheuzinho struggled before the interval, then tightened up and supported attacks after the break.

On 10 minutes of the second half, Gustavo Henrique turned in after Fábio parried a Memphis Depay volley, having missed a similar chance moments earlier. Gui Negão added thrust, while Depay improved with a positional tweak.

Matheus Bidu allowed Hulk to burst into the box and finish for the opener, then offered more going forward. Raniele threatened with a header, built play and later dropped into defence. André brought intensity, misplaced passes and worried the keeper from range.

Kaio César stretched play but lacked end product. Garro lost the ball before the counter that produced Fluminense’s second and again made little impact, with Breno Bidon also below par and Pedro Raul unable to retain possession. Lingard was too peripheral to rate, and pressure is growing on head coach Fernando Diniz.
