How was the match?

Even with a squad full of reserves, Corinthians started the game better and created their first dangerous chance at five minutes. Matheus Pereira dribbled past his marker at the edge of the box and took a shot, but sent it over the bar. At eight minutes, Kaio César made a good play down the right and found Gui Negão, who broke into the box and shot across goal, but missed wide.

Timão had another chance at ten minutes. After a beautiful passing triangle through the middle, Gui Negão shot from a tight angle but was stopped by goalkeeper Guilherme Nogueira. The black-and-white team slowed down after Kaio César left the field and saw Capivariano threaten at 16 minutes, with a shot from Leonan saved by Felipe Longo.

Corinthians had another scare at 42 minutes of the first half. Carlos Eduardo took a free kick into the box, the ball bounced and looped over Felipe Longo, ending up in the back of the net. However, the goal was disallowed because a Capivariano player was offside and involved in the play.

Second half

The hosts regained their attacking momentum after the break and opened the scoring at eight minutes of the final half. Matheus Bidu exchanged passes with Gui Negão inside the box and set up Dieguinho, who found the top corner: 1-0 in Itaquera.

Corinthians extended their lead at 19 minutes. Dieguinho controlled the ball on the right side of the attack and crossed perfectly for Gui Negão, who beat his marker in the air and headed firmly to score Timão's second. There was still time for Kayke to increase the score with a beautiful goal at 34 minutes. The youngster played a one-two with Memphis and curled the ball in, leaving no chance for Guilherme Nogueira.
