Player ratings: Garro and Hugo Souza lead Corinthians to victory | OneFootball

The Corinthians withstood the pressure and defeated Athletico-PR 1-0 this Thursday at Arena da Baixada, in a postponed match from the second round of the Brazilian Championship. Midfielder Rodrigo Garro and goalkeeper Hugo Souza were the main highlights for Timão in the victory.

The Argentine scored the winning goal for the black and white team. And it was a great goal. He hit a beautiful shot from the edge of the area with his left foot, leaving Santos with no chance. Meanwhile, Hugo made four important saves throughout the match.

Defenders Gabriel Paulista and Gustavo Henrique also performed well. The duo is increasingly gaining confidence and has been consolidating as starters.

On the other hand, full-back Matheus Bidu committed a penalty in favor of Athletico-PR and fell short. The attacking duo of Vitinho and Memphis Depay also did not work. The Dutchman was an easy target for the Furacão defense and lost possession 13 times.
