Part 3/6:
The breakthrough came for Corinthians when Yri Alberto expertly positioned himself to score the first goal after a masterful play led by Garro, whose impressive pass set the momentum for the goal. This moment exemplified how creativity and strategic thinking can lead to a well-structured attacking play.
The Turning Point: Second Half Struggles
Despite their lead, the second half saw a downturn in performance from Corinthians. The strategy appeared conservative, with the team opting to play sideways and defensively. This created an environment where Santos began to look more engaged and capable of equalizing, especially when Garro and Soteudo were brought into play, resulting in more fluid gameplay.
