Part 3/7:
Corinthians began the match with a 4-3-3 formation, a shift away from their usual 4-4-2 diamond setup. This tactical change presented some early challenges, as Red Bull Bragantino quickly took control of the game. The opposing team pressed high, making it difficult for Corinthians to establish any rhythm. The initial setup featured Romero on the right, Héctor Hernández as a center forward, and Thalis Magno on the left, which did not gel well with the players’ accustomed roles.
