Matheuzinho shines as Corinthians win away at Bragantino in Brasileiro | OneFootball

Matheuzinho impressed as Corinthians won 2-0 away at Bragantino in Bragança Paulista in the 22nd round of the Brasileiro.

According to Globo.com, he was the standout, strong in duels and active going forward despite some wayward crossing.

Gabriel Paulista almost opened the scoring with a fourth-minute header from a corner.

The breakthrough came on 13 minutes of the second half, Garro finishing after a goalkeeping error. At 20 minutes, Carrillo came on to steady build-up play and started the move for the second.

Kaio César’s best look was a burst and shot on 21 minutes, then Lingard entered on 29 with little effect. Bragantino threatened when Gustavo Henrique failed to track Mateus Fernandes at 31, and Allan cut out Lucas Barbosa on 35.

Pedro Raul sealed the win on 41 minutes with a header from Matheuzinho’s cross. Hugo Souza had little to do, though a risky pass on 48 gifted possession that could have been punished.

Fernando Diniz kept almost the same line-up that went out to Internacional, with Allan replacing the injured André. Corinthians were solid at the back, while a largely off-colour attack struggled to create.
