Corinthians’ 2-1 defeat to Cruzeiro last Sunday (16) at Neo Química Arena ended with tense incidents in the stands. The occurrences were recorded by referee Davi de Oliveira Lacerda in the official match report for the Brazilian Championship.

According to the officiating report, objects were thrown toward Cruzeiro’s players while the Minas Gerais side celebrated the game’s second goal. Wanderson scored in the 37th minute of the second half, at which point, as recorded in the document, cups containing liquids were thrown from the Corinthians stands.

The match report also describes a second incident after the final whistle. A fan wearing Corinthians clothing tried to enter the field but was stopped by the security staff working at Neo Química Arena. According to the referee, the fan had not been identified by the time the report was completed.

After the defeat to Cruzeiro, Corinthians now turn their attention solely to the clash against Rosario Central in the second leg of the Copa Libertadores round of 16 on Thursday (20). The match will be played at Neo Química Arena at 9:30 p.m., and a simple win will be enough for Timão to advance to the quarterfinals of the tournament. After a 0-0 draw in Argentina, Fernando Diniz’s side are looking to reach this stage of the competition for the first time since 2022.

Check below the statements recorded by Davi de Oliveira Lacerda in the match report:

“In the 36th minute of the second half, after Cruzeiro Esporte Clube’s second goal and during the players’ celebration, cups containing liquids were thrown from the stand where Sport Club Corinthians supporters were located.”

“After the end of the match, a supporter invaded the field of play and was restrained by the stadium security staff. The supporter was wearing Sport Club Corinthians clothing and had not been identified by the time this report was closed.”
