00:00Corinthians lost to Curitiba on Sunday night in the Brazilian Championship.
00:05In a match where coach Fernando Diniz opted to mix up the team a bit more,
00:11to put in some players who are not regular starters,
00:16Corinthians failed to beat Curitiba and dropped in the Brasileirão standings.
00:20It's now in tenth place and has stalled.
00:24Suffering their second consecutive defeat, they lost to Cruzeiro last week.
00:27And now they lost to Curitiba, a team that had been doing well in the Brazilian Championship.
00:32Well, Corinthians' changes for the game mainly involved the goalkeeper.
00:39With Hugo Souza leaving and Cauê coming in, and also in midfield.
00:43Rodrigo Garro, who was serving a suspension, was obviously out of the match.
00:48Up front, Caio César and Pedro Raul formed the attacking duo for Corinthians.
00:54Well, the big problem is that also on the wing, Mateuzinho,
00:58who is a pillar of coach Fernando Diniz's team, one of the most reliable players,
01:02Including the fact that he played a great match against Rosario Central.
01:05He wasn't in the squad either, and on the other side, Mateus Bidu, who played as a full-back, was also left out of the team.
01:11So there were three absences in the defense: Hugo Souza, Mateus Bidu, and Mateuzinho.
01:17The three players were spared due to load management.
01:20Well, in the first half, Corinthians didn't end up playing such a bad game after all.
01:25but it failed to be effective.
01:27Coritiba, on the other hand, with the chance they had with Pedro Rocha, made a good play down the left side of the field.
01:33He sent a powerful shot and Cauê ended up letting it in, a shot that, in my opinion, is saveable.
01:39In the second half, Corinthians improved significantly with the introduction of Memphis Depay.
01:43Memphis came in, gave the Corinthians team more speed, added more excitement, let's say.
01:49The team came into the game with more energy, had chances to score, but ended up not taking advantage of them.
01:56And then, with one chance, Coritiba made it 2-0 and sealed the game.
01:59So Corinthians ended up losing 2-1, because Ranieri scored a goal in stoppage time after a cross from...
02:06Wallen.
02:06Ranieri went up, scored the goal, but it was all for nothing, Corinthians ended up losing 2-1.
02:12Well, now Corinthians will have a full week to recover some players who are out.
02:17Perhaps the most important players out are Yuri Alberto and André, who are sidelined due to injury.
02:23This is their time to recover so they can be available for the next rounds of the Brasileirão.
02:30and especially in the Libertadores against Estudiantes.
02:33Corinthians' next game is on Sunday, in the Clássico against Santos.
02:36for the Brazilian Championship, at 4 AM, at Neo Química Arena.
