Gustavo Henrique rues Corinthians’ wastefulness, praises display | OneFootball

The Corinthians was defeated by Palmeiras 1-0 on Sunday night at the Neo Química Arena, in the Campeonato Paulista. Defender Gustavo Henrique said that Timão was superior to their rival and lamented the missed opportunities by the team, such as the penalty missed by Memphis Depay.

“We had a very good first half, a very strong pace. We had chances to score and we didn’t. We created chances and couldn’t convert them into goals. In the first half, they played on the counterattack, and in the second half, it was practically the same thing. They took advantage of our mistake, and we conceded the goal. In my view, we were superior. Now it's time to rest and think about the next game,” said the defender to Cazé TV.

“We know that a derby is different, especially against our biggest rival. We played a great game, their team seemed lost in the first half, they couldn’t touch the ball. We had the penalty and didn’t convert it. There’s still one more game in the championship and we are going in search of victory,” he added.
