🎥 First half of Timão v Fla sees Hugo Souza star, Memphis injury and more | OneFootball

THERE WAS no shortage of excitement in the action-packed first half of Corinthians versus Flamengo currently underway in Itaquera.

And it wraps up the eighth round of the 2026 Brasileirão.

Highlights include Hugo Souza, Paquetá, Yuri Alberto, and Memphis.

Check out a summary below of what happened in the first half.

Fla doesn't forgive Hugo Souza's mistake

The first goal of the match came after a poor ball distribution by Timão's national team goalkeeper.

Jorginho took advantage of the gift, found Pedro, and the number 9 set up Paquetá (3'). 

'That's from a protagonist...'

Corinthians managed to have more possession as the minutes went by.

And they found the equalizer at 19' after a beautiful play. 

It was up to Yuri Alberto to score his 50th goal at Neo Química Arena.

Third consecutive match in which he scores against Flamengo.

Out for the FIFA break?

Decisive in the play that led to the equalizer, Memphis appeared to suffer a likely injury during the move.

He tried to see if he could continue on the pitch, but gave up.

And was replaced by Garro.

He went straight to the locker room, visibly upset with pain in his right thigh. 

He is unlikely to be fit to play for the Netherlands national team during this FIFA break. 

They will face Norway (27) and Ecuador (31) in friendlies. 

It would have been a STUNNER

Corinthians started to have more possession towards the end of the first half.

The great red-black attack ended with Danilo crossing to Arrascaeta.

Until then "missing," the number 10 hit a stylish first-time volley.

But Hugo Souza said "no" before seeing the ball hit the crossbar.

It would have been a stunner.

And it was a fantastic save! 

The options on the bench 👇🏽

Dorival – who can only use two windows with the ball in play to make substitutions – has the following players available:

Kauê (G), Millans, João Pedro, André Ramalho, Angileri, Charles, Matheus Pereira, Vitinho, Labyad, Kayke, Gui Negão
