The 28-year-old defensive midfielder witnessed a great Corinthians performance in the second half. After an even first half, Timãozinho took off in the final stage and won 4-0, with goals scored by Lucca Caramico, Léo Rodrigues, Rafael Guarnieri, and Gustavo Sales.

With the result, the black-and-white team reached 22 points and temporarily moved past its rivals in the Brazilian U-17 Championship standings to take first place. Securing the lead, however, still depends on the other matches of the round.

Matheus Pereira came through at Corinthians, but only played three matches for the club’s first team. After leaving the club, he spent time with several teams in Europe. In Italy, he played for Empoli and Juventus’ youth team. In France, he featured for Bordeaux and Dijon. In Spanish football, he played for Barcelona B and Eibar.

The midfielder returned to the Parque São Jorge club from Fortaleza on a loan deal valid until the end of this year, with an option to buy. Corinthians will pay R$ 1.8 million to the Ceará club for the loan, to be split into 12 installments of R$ 150,000.
