Decisive figure's long-range winner lifts Corinthians at Athletico-PR | OneFootball

Rodrigo Garro settled it in the 21st minute with a left-footed strike from outside the box, giving Corinthians a 1-0 win at Athletico Paranaense. The Argentine midfielder shaped the contest with control and set-piece nous.

Spotting space outside the area, Garro curled into the top-left corner as Furacão backed off, the game's clearest moment of quality from distance.

Moments later, he drew an attacking free kick (27.). Before the interval, he earned another in the final third, keeping Timão high up the pitch and forcing the hosts to reset.

He finished with one attempt and one goal, three fouls won, and four recoveries, plus 18 of 20 passes completed to steady Coringão between the lines.

With Athletico-PR pushing after the break, his ability to take contact and find teammates eased pressure until he made way (61.), having already tilted the night in Corinthians' favour.

Timão visit Portuguesa in the Paulista next. Furacão host Londrina in the Paranaense next.

How high would you rate Garro's performance tonight?
