In the 20th minute, Ganso took a corner kick to Nino, inside the area, who dodged it with his head straight into Cássio’s hands. Four minutes later, Lima invaded the area and crossed to Samuel for a bomb, but Timão’s goalkeeper punched the ball out.

In the second half Timão entered the field determined to change the history of the game. At five minutes, Maycon kicked right into the right corner of goalkeeper Fábio, who avoided the goal by palming it out. From so much pressure, Timão opened the scoring in the 13th minute, after starting from left-back Matheus Bidu until he crossed to Yuri Alberto, inside the penalty area. The center forward arranged for Roger Guedes to dodge the header and put Corinthians in front of the marker. The goal was confirmed after VAR review. The team from São Paulo had the chance to expand in the 23rd minute, with Bidu, who shot straight from outside the area, but goalkeeper Fábio saved it. In the final minutes, Tricolor struggled to equalize. John Kennedy got rid of Bidu’s marking and shot hard, but Cássio was attentive and defended.

Amidst the tricolor pressure, Roger Guedes enshrined the Corinthian victory in extra time. The number 10 took advantage of Renato Augusto’s first-rate cross and deflected his head into the goal. #INTxBAH | 2-0 | 2Q | 54′ – VEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENCE THE PEOPLE’S CLUB!
