00:00Here at the chilly Neokimicarena, Corinthians and Atlético Paranaense drew 0-0 in the Brazilian Championship.
00:07In a match with little excitement in the first half, which improved somewhat in the second half,
00:14We saw two teams that tried, but couldn't create many clear-cut scoring opportunities.
00:19Atlético Paranaense hit the post at one point, and Corinthians had a significant chance with Yuri Alberto.
00:25But nothing that would really elicit much excitement from the fans, as it was truly a somewhat subpar game, technically speaking.
00:34of the two teams.
00:35But before we start talking about the match, here's the Corinthians lineup.
00:39Corinthians fielded a largely reserve team.
00:42Only Hugo Souza, a regular starter, and Mateuzinho are the only two options for Corinthians among the starters.
00:49The rest, a mixed team with André Ramalho, Alan, Matheus Pereira, Zacaria Labiade, Lingar, the players who aren't always...
00:58starters.
00:59Atlético Paranaense, on the other hand, fielded a fuller squad, with only Luiz Gustavo and full-back Esquivel being rested.
01:07He was also spared.
01:08In other words, a complete Atlético Paranaense team.
01:11Perhaps that's what made the game a bit more disjointed, with both teams in different moments and...
01:18distinct.
01:18In the first half, which was uneventful, we had a header from Mateuzinho, which was saved by goalkeeper Santos.
01:26In the second half, Corinthians improved, started attacking a bit more, and had two important shots on goal from their striker.
01:34Yuri Alberto,
01:36But goalkeeper Santos, in inspired form, managed to make two good saves and secure the result.
01:41In fact, Santos, for me, stood out in the match with four saves in total, saves that secured the point for the team.
01:47Atlético Paranaense, which remains in the top four.
01:50While Corinthians is in the top eight, they missed the opportunity to climb even higher in the Brazilian Championship standings.
01:55Two players left the Neokímica Arena pitch injured.
02:00Forward Yuri Alberto left the field in the second half with pain in his hamstring, and even left in tears.
02:07And midfielder Zacaria Labiade left the field in the first half, actually at the end of the first half.
02:12after twisting his left knee.
02:14It was a powerful image; even the Atlético Paranaense players put their hands to their heads because it was a really strong image.
02:20strong.
02:20So, there are doubts regarding the game against Corinthians next weekend against Internacional for the Copa do Brasil.
02:27Brazil.
02:28I believe, I dare say, that these are doubts for the remainder of the games, in fact, for the sequence of the next one.
02:33August is Corinthians' month.
02:37Right?
02:37So, this was the match here at Neokímica Arena, a less eventful game, as we expected, with the ball in...
02:44foot,
02:44But with some strong off-field incidents, it was a very competitive game, and two Corinthians players left the field injured.
02:52This is the Corinthians team that will face Internacional this weekend in the Copa do Brasil.
