Santos foils Corinthians as stalemate lifts hosts to eighth | OneFootball

Corinthians and Athletico Paranaense drew 0-0 at the Arena Corinthians, lifting Corinthians from ninth to eighth in the Brasileirão while the visitors remain third.

In the 24th minute, Matheuzinho's header from the centre of the box was tipped away by Santos, and moments later Jesse Lingard's close-range effort was also saved as the keeper stood tall.

After the restart, Timão pushed again. Yuri Alberto twice tested Santos, first from range (65.) and then from Allan's through ball (67.), but the goalkeeper parried both to preserve the deadlock.

An enforced change shaped the hosts' approach as Zakaria Labyad made way for Kaio César at the break, and the substitute went close from distance (62.). Later, Alberto was withdrawn injured, further blunting Timão's threat (78.).

Furacão's best spell came from a corner when Kevin Viveros glanced a header against the bar (73.). Deep in the first minute of second half stoppage time, Hugo Souza denied João Cruz with a low save to secure the point.

Timão registered seven attempts, with four on target and the better share of the ball. Furacão produced four efforts and struck the woodwork once.
