In the first half, Joinville were superior, pressing Corinthians’ buildup and taking advantage of quick attacks. Timão could not keep up with the pace and struggled throughout the first 20 minutes. Even so, they managed to score their only goal after a defensive mistake by the home side.

In the second half, the match became more balanced, with both teams creating dangerous chances. The game grew more intense, and Corinthians started to put more pressure on Joinville’s defense. On the other hand, the home team continued to find space to counterattack with speed and quick passing combinations.

With the result, Corinthians sit in 15th place in the table and remain one of the few teams yet to earn a point.

After facing Joinville away from home in their National League opener, Corinthians will remain focused on the competition. Next Friday (3), at 8:30 p.m. (Brasília time), Alvinegro will face Magnus Futsal at Wlamir Marques Gymnasium in a derby for the second round of the national tournament.
