Kauê's numbers in Corinthians' defeat to Fluminense | OneFootball

Last Wednesday, Kauê made his first appearance for Corinthians this season. Although Timão lost 3-1, the young goalkeeper posted good numbers and prevented Fluminense from winning by a larger margin.

Replacing Hugo Souza, who was on duty with the Brazilian national team during the latest international break, Kauê played for the senior team for the second time in his career. The first came last season, in Corinthians’ 1-1 draw with Juventude in the final round of the Brazilian Championship.

As a result, the goalkeeper is still looking for his first senior-team win, with one draw and one loss.

However, Kauê delivered a strong performance, preventing a rout by Fluminense at the Maracanã. According to Sofascore data, the goalkeeper faced 10 shots and made seven saves, three of them on efforts from inside the box.

In addition, the goalkeeper was heavily involved in the match. Kauê recovered 11 balls and also had 32 touches. The player received Corinthians’ second-highest rating on the platform, behind only André, who scored the team’s goal.

With the international break over, Hugo Souza is expected to return as Corinthians’ starting goalkeeper as the team goes through a poor run of form. After losing to Fluminense, Timão stretched its winless streak to eight matches, and head coach Dorival Júnior will go into the next-round clash against Internacional under heavy pressure.
