00:00Hey friends, just dropping by to give my thoughts on Corinthians' 1-1 draw with Bahia in Salvador.
00:06A match where the game was almost entirely filled with confusion, lots of fighting, a very physical game as well, with many
00:13cards
00:14But it was a game in which Corinthians watched Bahia play more than they were actually on the field.
00:19Corinthians opened the scoring very early with Henry Lerner at the start of the game.
00:22But then Bahia ended up suffocating Corinthians, and they managed to tie the game.
00:26He had three goals disallowed by the referee, due to offside and a foul at the start of the play.
00:34But either way, Corinthians left Salvador with a point.
00:37Beginning this analysis with the Corinthians lineup, Corinthians featured Henry Lerner at left-back.
00:43Since Matheus Bidu felt pain in his pubic area.
00:47And Ranieri was back after missing the game against Remo due to a sprained ankle.
00:53on the ankle
00:54So with those two players, Corinthians took to the field with the classic team that we're used to seeing.
00:59see
00:59Only with Henry Lerner at left-back.
01:00With Souza, Gabriel Paulista and Salvador Henrique in defense.
01:04On the sides, Mateuzinho and Henry Lerner himself.
01:07In midfield, Ranieri, André, Breno Bidon, Rodrigo Garron, and in attack, Yuri Alberto and...
01:13Caio Cesar
01:14But this is the team we're used to, and they played an excellent match against Remo.
01:18Today's match against Bahia was not repeated.
01:20Bahia had the best chances of the game, the best goal-scoring opportunities.
01:25They dominated practically the entire match, and Corinthians managed to score a goal early in the game.
01:30That's what ended up saving Corinthians.
01:32He opened the scoring very early, in the 7th minute, with a beautiful finish from Fabrício Henri Lerner.
01:37And it also had a little help from Bahia's goalkeeper Ronaldo, who ended up letting Henri Lerner's shot slip through his hands.
01:44After that, Bahia took control of the game, scoring the first goal, then the second.
01:48The referee disallowed the decision.
01:50Then he scored the third goal, this time with David Duarte, a ball lofted into the area.
01:55Here's a negative highlight for the Corinthians team.
01:59A tall defender like David Duarte shouldn't even need to jump high to head a ball towards the goal.
02:05A corner kick
02:06The Corinthians defense there, the whole team actually, stays at the corner kick and everyone is there.
02:10within
02:12He ended up falling asleep for a bit, and David Duarte sent the ball into the goal, tying the game.
02:17In the second half, Bahia scored their third goal, making it 2-0.
02:21The fourth goal of the game was disallowed, but it was also ruled offside early in the Pulgar play.
02:28It was a goal by William José, aided by a little mistake from Hugo Souza who came out a bit awkwardly.
02:33In the first half, Hugo Souza also came out a bit awkwardly on the ball.
02:36With a kick, with a ball lofted forward.
02:40Hugo Souza got ahead of himself and tried to kick the ball high into the air.
02:43He missed the shot, luckily for Corinthians in that case.
02:48Gustavo Henrique was there and cleared the ball, preventing that play.
02:52That could have been another goal for Bahia.
02:54So, there's the glass half full and the glass half empty.
02:58The glass-half-empty truth is that Corinthians' performance was far from good.
03:02As has happened on other occasions away from home.
03:04Against Grêmio, for example, Corinthians dominated and managed to win the game comfortably.
03:09Against Remo at home, in this case, which was also a very good match.
03:14But the glass-half-full thing is that Corinthians left Salvador with a point.
03:18We know that playing in Bahia is difficult.
03:20Bahia had one of the best attendances for Bahia this year.
03:24Then they pressed hard, the stadium was full.
03:26So, one point earned in the overall standings isn't so bad.
03:30Corinthians dropped one position due to the course of the round.
03:33Botafogo won, there are other teams playing.
03:36So now Corinthians has dropped down, they're in eighth place.
03:39But he's still alive and well in the quest for the G6, let's say.
03:44And in other competitions there's the Copa do Brasil and the Libertadores as well.
03:48On Thursday, Corinthians will face Atlético Paranaense at the Neokimica Arena.
03:52Game for the Brazilian Championship
03:54Atlético Paranaense is having an excellent season in the championship.
03:57Coming off a victory against Internacional
03:59São Paulo also won away from home.
04:02So, a great campaign by Atlético Paranaense, managed by Odair Helman.
04:06And I believe that by Thursday we'll have this mystery solved.
04:10Whether Memphis Depay stays at Corinthians or not
04:13The expectation is that the decision regarding the number 10's stay at Corinthians will be finalized this Monday.
04:20Okay? So thank you all very much.
04:22Keep following Corinthians news on the Lance website, on YouTube, and on social media.
