Down to nine men, Corinthians concede late and lose to Bragantino | OneFootball

Corinthians conceded a goal in the final minutes and was defeated 2-1 by Red Bull Bragantino on Wednesday night at Estádio Cícero de Souza Marques, bringing their three-game winning streak in the Campeonato Brasileiro to an end. Sasha and Pitta scored for Massa Bruta, while Yuri Alberto pulled one back for the visitors.

Dorival Júnior’s team played much of the second half with a man down in Bragança Paulista. That’s because, in the 14th minute, midfielder José Martínez received his second yellow card and was sent off. Near the end, Charles was also shown a red card, leaving Timão with just nine players on the field.

How was the match?

Corinthians started better in Bragança Paulista. In the tenth minute, Yuri Alberto combined with Garro in the box and shot with his left foot, but Cleiton made the save. Then, at 16, Breno Bidon tried his luck from outside the area and hit the crossbar. Almost a stunner!

Bragantino improved and nearly opened the scoring in the 39th minute, with Gabriel’s shot going just wide of Felipe Longo’s goal. At 43, Angileri brought down Alix Vinicius inside the area and, after checking the play on the VAR monitor, the referee awarded a penalty. Eduardo Sasha converted and put Massa Bruta ahead.

Timão had a chance to equalize five minutes into the second half, with Memphis, but the Dutchman shot wide. Then, at 21, even with a man down after Martínez’s sending off, the visitors leveled the score. Depay shot and goalkeeper Cleiton parried it into the path of Yuri Alberto, who made no mistake.

Needing a win, the home side pushed forward and pressed Corinthians, who held on thanks to saves from Felipe Longo. However, in the 46th minute, Jhon Jhon found Isidro Pitta with a long ball, and he headed in unmarked from close range to find the net.
