Now there are seven victories for the alvinegro, two draws, and one win for Furacão in the last ten duels across all competitions.
Emotion in the 1st Half
The first big chance of the game came after Bidu committed a penalty on Viveros.
However, after some doubt about the taker, Julimar missed the target, sending it wide.
Then Corinthians was more objective at 21′, with Garro ending his goal drought.
He hadn’t scored since the last match between the two teams, in September of last year.
Furacão tried to react before the break. But without success.
Attempts
Odair made CAP more offensive by swapping Chiquetti for Portilla.

The change had an effect, as Furacão came back strong after the break.
There was plenty of effort. But a lack of inspiration.
Corinthians had more space for counterattacks.
And couldn’t find a good opportunity.

Furacão learned a lesson in precision, as they had only two good chances during the entire second half.
