How was the game?

Even with many reserves, Corinthians started the game better and posed a threat for the first time at five minutes. Matheus Pereira dribbled past the defender at the edge of the area and shot at goal, but sent it over. At eight minutes, Kaio César made a good play on the right and set up Gui Negão, who entered the area and shot across but missed.

Timão had another chance at ten minutes. After a beautiful inside triangulation, Gui Negão shot from a tight angle and was stopped by goalkeeper Guilherme Nogueira. The alvinegro team slowed down after Kaio César's exit and saw Capivariano threaten at 16 minutes, with a shot by 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 on the ground and went over Felipe Longo, ending up in the net. However, the goal was disallowed due to an offside Capivariano player who participated in the play.

Second Half

The hosts regained their offensive momentum after the break and opened the scoring eight minutes into the final half. Matheus Bidu exchanged passes with Gui Negão inside the area 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 outjumped the defense and headed firmly to score Timão's second. Kayke then had time to increase the score with a stunning goal at 34 minutes. The youngster exchanged passes with Memphis and curled a shot beyond Guilherme Nogueira's reach.
