Corinthians ratings: Hugo Souza earns draw in the derby | OneFootball

In Fernando Diniz’s second game in charge, last Sunday, Corinthians drew 0-0 with Palmeiras in the 11th round of the Brasileirão. In a match full of controversies, goalkeeper Hugo Souza was responsible for keeping the score level.

The shot-stopper made five saves during the match, including two crucial interventions: one from a free kick taken by Andreas Pereira and another from a badly deflected ball by Gabriel Paulista.

Two other standout performers for Corinthians were Gabriel Paulista and Gustavo Henrique. Playing with two men down, the center-back duo was responsible for containing Palmeiras’ attacks and, alongside Hugo, ensured the goalless draw.

Defensive midfielder André and right-back Matheuzinho were Corinthians’ negative points. The midfielder was sent off in the first half for an obscene gesture, while the defender received a red card for unsporting conduct in the second half.
