Corinthians player ratings: see the scores after the draw with São Paulo | OneFootball

Corinthians secured a 1-1 draw with São Paulo last Sunday afternoon at the Neo Química Arena, during the third round of the Campeonato Paulista. Some players from Timão had consistent performances, such as Breno Bidon, Gustavo Henrique, Matheus Bidu, and André Luiz. On the other hand, other team members saw a drop in performance, like Carrillo, Yuri Alberto, André Ramalho, and Matheuzinho.

Breno Bidon did not have one of his best matches wearing the Corinthians jersey, but he was decisive. The new number 7 provided a passing option for Matheus Pereira. Pedro Raul got the ball and returned it to Bidon inside the area. The midfielder placed his shot and, at the 45th minute of the final stage, equalized the game at the Arena.

Gustavo Henrique, in turn, had another solid performance in defense. The Corinthians captain was crucial in clearing many of the rival's crosses and also intercepted many ground balls. He was also a threat in the air for Timão and nearly scored with a header after a deflection, but Rafael saved it.

Another standout was Matheus Bidu. Defensively, he managed to contain São Paulo's attackers and won many ground duels. He also appeared frequently in the offensive field and was quite active in the team's attacking moves. However, the number 21's crosses were not very precise.

Finally, another positive highlight for Corinthians was midfielder André Luiz. The youth academy player was a starter again and contributed with a lot of grit and strong marking in the midfield. He also created offensive plays.

Meanwhile, players like Carrillo and Yuri Alberto did not perform well in the Majestoso. The Peruvian made many passing errors, showed little intensity, and failed in marking during São Paulo's goal, giving Danielzinho time and space to cross. The number 9, on the other hand, had plenty of willingness but made poor decisions and missed a golden opportunity in the first half.

André Ramalho also did not perform well during São Paulo's goal and allowed Tapia to rise alone to head the ball into the net. Meanwhile, Matheuzinho did not compromise defensively but was notably marked by a missed chance in the first half when he faced Rafael one-on-one and shot wide.
