Decisive figure turns it for Corinthians against RB Bragantino | OneFootball

Matheus Bidu decided it in the 74th minute with a left-foot finish, as Corinthians beat RB Bragantino 2-0. The left-back's intervention capped a forceful second half display.

Arriving unmarked at the back post, Bidu swept in from the left side of the six-yard box (74.), turning pressure into a cushion and swinging the game firmly towards Timão.

From there, Bidu controlled his flank and game tempo, repeatedly winning contact to relieve pressure and pin Braga back. His forward bursts kept the visitors' full-back guessing and sustained territory for the hosts.

The numbers underlined his grip: Bidu drew seven fouls, made 12 recoveries, and completed 46 of 53 passes, showing control in and out of possession.

Because Coringão's structure gave him licence to advance, his overlapping runs and positioning unsettled Massa Bruta and ensured the decisive moments fell his way.

Timão visit Athletico Paranaense next. Massa Bruta host Novorizontino in the Paulista next.
