There were several protagonists in the reunion between the two teams after the Supercopa Rei.
Hugo Souza makes a mistake and… goal! ⚫🔴
The first goal of the match came after a poor ball clearance by the Timão’s national team goalkeeper.
Jorginho took advantage of the gift, found Pedro, and the number 9 set up Paquetá (3′).
Comeback with Yuri Alberto 🦅
Corinthians managed to gain more control of the game as the minutes passed.
And they found the equalizer at the 19th minute after a beautiful play.
It was up to Yuri Alberto to score his 50th goal at Neo Química Arena.
Third consecutive match in which he scores against Flamengo.
🤕 Possible Memphis injury
Decisive in the play that led to the equalizer, Memphis appeared to suffer a likely injury in the move.

He made movements to see if he could continue on the field, but gave up.
And ended up being replaced by Garro.
He is unlikely to be fit to play for the Netherlands in the friendlies against Norway and Colombia during this FIFA break.
It would have been a STUNNER 😯
Corinthians started to have more control of the game towards the end of the first half.
The great rubro-negro attack ended with Danilo crossing to Arrascaeta.
Until then “missing”, the number 10 hit it first time in a stylish volley.

But Hugo Souza said “no” before seeing the ball hit the crossbar.

It would have been a stunner. And it was a fantastic save!
Was it really a 🟥?
The game gained a new twist after Evertton Araújo was sent off.
The incident happened six minutes into the second half.
Rodrigo José Pereira de Lima showed the red card to Evertton Araújo after a challenge with Bidon.
He was called by Wagner Reway, the main video referee, to review the play.
But he stuck with his decision.
The complaints switched sides 😤
The sequence brought more controversy after Ayrton Lucas’s challenge with André.
And the subsequent penalty appeal for Corinthians.
Corinthians couldn’t take advantage of the numerical superiority.

They had more control and possession. But they couldn’t break through the last line of a well-organized rival.
That only changed at the 50th minute. But Rossi made a great save on Yuri Alberto’s attempt.
The final minutes were tense. And with no more goals.
