Universitario – Corinthians, first leg
With a B team, made up mostly of youth players, Corinthians achieved a slight advantage by defeating the Peruvian 1-0 academic this Tuesday in Sao Paulo, in the first leg of the play-off for the round of 16 of the Copa Sudamericana 2023.
‘Timão’, who is fighting for the key after finishing third in Group E of the Copa Libertadores, won with a goal from attacker Felipe Augusto (78), 19, at the Neo Química Arena stadium.
The ‘U’ heavy, who is looking for a ticket to the next round after finishing second in Group G of the South American Cup, won by the Brazilian Goiás, was unable to prevail against an eleven with little experience.
For the coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo, the international tournament is not on the list of important issues and will be, as far as possible, the stage to film the youth players.
The former Real Madrid coach has warned of the lack of a broad and quality cast, so he will focus on escaping relegation at the Brasileirao (they are 15th, with 15 points in 14 games) and advance to the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil .
Even when it was cold and knowing that they would not see the gala team, the ‘Corinthian’ fans, the second largest in Brazil, behind Flamengo from Rio de Janeiro, accompanied their team en masse.
The Uruguayan defender Bruno Méndez, the midfielder Giuliano and the winger Adson put the share of experience in the headline of a ‘Timão’ who, although decimated, showed more offensive intentions than his rival from the beginning.
Those led by the Uruguayan coach Jorge Fossati, undefeated in the Peruvian Clausura, with two wins and a draw, had their maximum strength, except for their goalkeeper José Carvallo, who was sent off in the 1-0 victory against Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata (ARG) in the close of the group stage.
His replacement, Diego Romero, responded well to the two most dangerous shots from the locals, from Adson (49) and Giovane (58).
But the goalkeeper saw the Brazilians approach with more danger in the second half, amid the inability of his teammates to create risky plays and the expulsion of Álex Valera in the 73rd minute.
The attacker swept hard against the winger Rafael Ramos and saw the red card of the Venezuelan judge Jesús Valenzuela, after a VAR review.
With one more and guided by the experience of the creative Renato Augusto, who entered in ’62, Corinthians was gaining ground.
The 35-year-old ‘Corinthian’ idol, who has lost ground due to injuries, got into the area after dodging two opponents.
Before falling and being intercepted by another rival, he gave the ball to Felipe Augusto, who broke Romero’s goal with a left-footed shot to the right corner.
The ‘B’ of the paulistas, reinforced in the second part by men on the road, although substitutes in the eleven ‘A’, became emboldened after going ahead and sought to extend the advantage, although they lacked the last ‘punch’.
Without focusing on the competition, the albinegros will play the pass to the round of 16, where the Argentine Newells’s Old Boys, winner of Group E of the South American, awaits next Tuesday in Lima.
