On the other side, Cruzeiro started the match with Diogo; Luiz Índio, Eduardo Wozniak, Bryan Campos and Júlio Damique; Luis Guilherme, Luan and Ronald; Ramalho, Henrique Lemos and Thaylon.

Without an official broadcast, the match got off to a promising start for the team from Parque São Jorge. Superior in the opening 45 minutes, Timãozinho turned that dominance into a lead before the break. Lucca Caramico opened the scoring, while Miguel Moscardo added a second, sending the visitors into the locker room in a comfortable position.

The scenario, however, changed completely in the second half. Just six minutes in, Ronald pulled one back for the home side. Shortly afterward, in the eighth minute, Corinthians were reduced to 10 men after Ji-Paraná was sent off.

With a numerical advantage, Cruzeiro increased the attacking pressure and completed the comeback. Thaylon emerged as the key player by finding the net twice, sealing the Minas Gerais side’s turnaround and confirming the 3-2 victory.

With the result, Corinthians remain on seven points after four rounds and drop out of the top three, now sitting fourth in the table.

The team coached by Guilherme Nascimento will return to the field next week. Their next match will be against Botafogo on Tuesday the 23rd at 3 p.m. at Fazendinha, in the fifth round of the Brazilian U-17 Championship.
