Corinthians secured their spot in the semi-finals of the Copa do Brasil by defeating Athletico Paranaense 2-0 in the early hours of Thursday, September 11, in a decisive clash held at the Neo Química Arena. The team featuring André Carrillo, the former Sporting player, thus advances to the next stage. Nevertheless, the 34-year-old Peruvian winger did not play due to injury.

The São Paulo side thus achieved a comfortable aggregate advantage in the tie, which ended 3-0. The result added to the 1-0 victory secured in Curitiba, and in this way, Timão remains in the hunt for a title they haven’t won since 2009.

At 43 minutes of the first half, Gui Negão helped break the deadlock. In an individual play, the youngster received the ball at the edge of the box, dribbled masterfully, and set up Rodrigo Garro, who, with composure, rounded the goalkeeper and slotted the ball into the back of the net, making it 1-0.

In the second half, Gui Negão shone again. In the 63rd minute, the forward received a pass from Vitinho in the box, won the challenge against the Paranaense defense, and finished precisely past goalkeeper Santos, extending the lead and ensuring a comfortable win. Athletico Paranaense still had a chance to mount a response with a penalty, but Hugo Souza saved Gastón Benavídez’s shot.

André Carrillo played at Alvalade between 2011 and 2016. In total, the winger – currently valued at 1 million euros – played 162 matches and scored 16 goals. He won a Portuguese Cup (2014/15) and a Super Cup (2015). In 2016/17, he moved to Benfica on a free transfer after falling out with Bruno de Carvalho – who recently spoke about his time at Alvalade – and refusing to renew with the Lions.
