The Corinthians were crowned four-time champions of the Copa do Brasil on Sunday by defeating Vasco, 2-1, at the Maracanã. Yuri Alberto and Memphis Depay found the back of the net and stole the spotlight, but other players like Breno Bidon, Gustavo Henrique, Matheuzinho, André Ramalho, and José Martínez also deserve recognition.
Yuri Alberto was decisive once again and was Corinthians' main offensive weapon. Even playing through pain, the number 9 gave it his all and turned things around by opening the scoring in the final, though he missed a clear chance minutes later. In the second half, however, the striker redeemed himself by assisting the second goal, emerging as a hero.
Memphis Depay's star shone once more. The number 10, who had already been crucial in the victories against Palmeiras and Cruzeiro, demonstrated good positioning sense and only had to complete the play into the net after a well-worked move by Corinthians.
Another standout of the game is Breno Bidon. The young player was chosen by coach Dorival Júnior to play as the attacking midfielder once again, as Garro started on the bench. He was tasked with creating plays, and that's exactly what he did. The play for Timão's second goal started from the feet of the youngster, who cleared the marking and passed to Matheuzinho to continue the move.
Matheuzinho was another to shine in the second leg of the final. Despite struggling to mark Andrés Goméz, the Corinthians right-back supported the attack when possible and provided a beautiful assist for Yuri Alberto's goal. He also played a direct role in the winning goal. Defensively, he did what he could and managed important clearances.
The center-back duo André Ramalho and Gustavo Henrique also made crucial clearances and were fundamental to the result, as was José Martínez, who was responsible for helping Matheuzinho in marking Andrés Goméz and performed very well.
