Corinthians’ 2-0 win over Cuiaba on Sunday, was hard fought at Neo Quimica Arena. Both teams arrived in good form, having secured victories in their previous matches. Corinthians were looking to pick up points, following a 2-1 victory against Atlético Goianense. Cuiaba were able to continue their winning streak after a 2-1 win against America Mineiro in their last match. Corinthians and Cuiaba currently occupy 5th and 17th spots in the table, with 47 points and 30 points respectively after 29 matches.

It was an impressive opening from Corinthians, when Yuri Alberto gave them the lead, 33 minutes in. They then scored again, pulling level thanks to a goal from Roger Guedes just before half-time to see out the first half 2-0. The second half ended with little further action at either end and goalless.
