Decisive figure sets Coritiba on course and marshals the back line at Corinthians | OneFootball

Jacy Maranhão headed Coritiba in front in the 37th minute, underpinning a controlled away performance as they beat Corinthians 2-0.

From a corner routine, he climbed above his marker to glance the ball into the bottom right (37.), meeting Josué's delivery and tilting the night towards the visitors.

After the restart, the centre back patrolled Coxa's box, heading and hacking clear. He registered seven clearances and one block as Timão's stream of crosses kept coming.

He departed with a knock (69.), having completed 13 of 14 passes and won the decisive first contact for the opener.

With Coxa-Branca defending compactly and prioritising first contacts, his positioning kept Coringão at arm's length and ensured set pieces remained a weapon at both ends.

Coxa climb from 14th to 5th. They host Remo next. Timão visit Santos next.

How high would you rate Maranhão's performance tonight?
