Yuri Alberto rues Corinthians loss, avoids refereeing controversy | OneFootball

Corinthians conceded a goal in the final minutes and was defeated 2-1 by Red Bull Bragantino on Wednesday night at the Cícero de Souza Marques Stadium, ending their streak of three consecutive wins in the Brazilian Championship. Yuri Alberto, who scored the only goal for Corinthians, lamented the loss and avoided commenting on the controversial refereeing by Edina Alves Batista.

“I don’t like to comment on refereeing, it’s not my style. We could have neutralized things better, we can’t shirk our responsibility. The win was important, but as the match went on, the draw was looking positive. Now we have to keep our heads up, we were on a good run. We’ll work hard because there’s another big game this weekend,” said the player in an interview with Premiere.

Dorival Júnior’s team played much of the second half with one man down in Bragança Paulista. That’s because, in the 14th minute, midfielder José Martínez received his second yellow card and was sent off. Later on, Charles was also shown a red card, leaving Corinthians with nine players on the field.
