Corinthians took the field with their reserves but defeated Capivariano 3-0 this Thursday at Neo Química Arena, in the seventh round of the Campeonato Paulista. The big stars of the night were the youth academy players: Dieguinho, Gui Negão, and Kayke. The trio led the alvinegro’s victory, each scoring a goal.

It’s not just the three youngsters who deserve recognition. Midfielder Matheus Pereira helped organize the midfield and had a great match. Forward Kaio César started well, making incisive plays down the right side, but was injured in the first half. Meanwhile, the defensive line with André Ramalho and Tchoca was solid.
