Maycon on first half of Corinthians v Cruzeiro in Copa do Brasil semi | OneFootball

Corinthians went into halftime losing 1-0 to Cruzeiro in the second leg of the Copa do Brasil semifinal. The match is taking place at Neo Química Arena, in Itaquera, and kicked off at 6:00 PM (Brasília time). With the current score, the decision is heading to penalties, since the Alvinegro team won the first leg 1-0, with a goal by Memphis Depay.

After the final whistle of the first half, Maycon evaluated Corinthians’ performance in the first half and pointed out what needs to be adjusted in the second half. “I think our team is not compacting the way we trained. We need to be able to hold the ball up front more, start to control the pace again, once more. I think our team got too spread out, that was our problem,” said the player.

If they secure qualification, Timão will face the winner of the match between Cruzeiro and Fluminense, in a final played over two legs, on December 17 (Wednesday) and December 21 (Sunday).
