Corinthians player ratings: duo score, but Garro tops win | OneFootball

In the first match under Fernando Diniz, last Thursday, Corinthians defeated Platense in Buenos Aires and opened their Libertadores campaign with a win. Forwards Kayke and Yuri Alberto scored the team’s goals, but the night’s standout was attacking midfielder Rodrigo Garro.

The Argentine provided two assists and looked like the midfielder who shone in the black-and-white shirt in 2024. Kayke, meanwhile, justified Diniz’s faith and scored the goal that paved the way for the victory.

Other positive standouts were center-backs Gabriel Paulista and Gustavo Henrique, who had a solid game. In addition to the pair, goalkeeper Hugo Souza stepped up when needed and made two good saves.

The midfield duo of André and Bidon, while active defensively, were only discreet. Forward Vitinho , meanwhile, came on very poorly in the second half and was the team’s negative point.
