How was the game?

Taking advantage of aerial plays, Corinthians dominated the start of the game and opened the scoring just 15 minutes in, after a header from Yuri Alberto was saved by Tiago Volpi. From the corner kick, Garro crossed perfectly for Gustavo Henrique, who was alone at the far post and simply had to tap it into the net.

Grêmio threatened with a shot from Amuzu at the 28th minute, but Hugo Souza saved it. Corinthians responded shortly after, at the 33rd minute, when Memphis Depay tried from outside the box and hit the post. The home team appealed for a penalty in the final minutes of the first half, after a handball by Noriega, but the referee didn't even consult the VAR.

Corinthians adjusted their midfield positioning in the second half and stopped suffering from the transitions of the Gaúcho team. The hosts had chances to extend their lead but were wasteful in their finishing, until, at the 32nd minute, in a play by Memphis, the ball brushed Dodi's hand and the referee awarded a penalty. The Dutchman struck with power, leaving Volpi with no chance, and sent the Fiel Torcida into a frenzy in Itaquera.
