Relief for Fiel: Corinthians end winless Paulistão run | OneFootball

Corinthians preserved its starters. 

And it wasn't delivering the football expected by the Fiel. 

But it defeated Velo Clube playing at Benitão by 1-0 this Sunday (25).

Yuri Alberto, already in injury time, decided the match.

And he was the target of "jokes" from his teammates during the celebration.

The Timão will now start thinking about its debut in the Brasileirão and then the Supercopa Rei, in a better situation in the State Championship. 

It was dangerous, but...

Corinthians had greater control of the actions in the first half.

It couldn't manage the well-worked plays imagined, but made the opposing goalkeeper work hard.

The "tactic" was to shoot from outside the area to try to overcome Marcelo Carné.

Dorival works and... his goal!

Four starters were brought on in the final stage - the last one already at 82'.

Pedro Raul also got a chance.

The scenario was the same for Timão: superior ball possession and attempts.

Velo Clube, on the other hand, tried to pose a threat through aerial plays. But without success.

And it was "settling" for a point.

Then Vitinho made the difference, Carné couldn't hold it, and Yuri Alberto went to celebrate with the fans (91').
