The Corinthians did not shine, but defeated Velo Clube 1-0 this Sunday at Benitão, in Rio Claro, during the fifth round of the Campeonato Paulista. The highlight of the night, forward Yuri Alberto came off the bench and decided the match, saving the team from a collectively sleepy performance.

The Timão's defense was hardly tested. Debutant Pedro Milans played a safe game at right-back. The midfield with Charles, André, and Matheus Pereira worked well defensively but created little. Among the trio, André was the most forward-moving.

The forwards, on the other hand, disappointed. Midfielder Garro and forward Gui Negão were discreet, while Vitinho, although active, wasted chances.
