In the first half, Corinthians was dominated by the Spanish opponent and conceded two goals due to errors in ball distribution. After the technical timeout, the Alvinegro found more stability in the game and improved defensively. However, they lacked effectiveness in attack.

In the second half, the club from Parque São Jorge had opportunities to reduce the score. However, later on, ElPozo Murcia regained control of the match and scored the third goal following another error in Corinthians' ball distribution. The Alvinegro now has two victories (Inter Movistar – 3 x 2 and Viña Albali Valdepeñas – 3 x 1) during their trip to Spain.

Corinthians' last friendly in Europe is scheduled for this Thursday, August 28, when they will face Jimbee Cartagena. The opponents of the club from Parque São Jorge compete in the national elite in Spain and are preparing for the start of the 2025/2026 season.
