Corinthians preserved its starters.
And it wasn't delivering the football expected by the faithful fans.
But it defeated Velo Clube at Benitão with a 1-0 victory this Sunday (25).
Yuri Alberto, in added time, made the difference.
The Timão will now focus on its debut in the Brasileirão and then on the Supercopa Rei, in a better position in the State Championship.
It posed a threat, but...
Corinthians had greater control of the actions in the first half.
It couldn't execute the well-worked plays as imagined, but it made the rival goalkeeper work hard.
The "strategy" was to shoot from outside the box to try to beat Marcelo Carné.
Dorival works and... his goal!
Four starters were brought on in the final stage - the last one at the 82nd minute.
Pedro Raul also got a chance.
The scenario was the same for Timão: superior ball possession and attempts.
Velo Clube, on the other hand, tried to pose a threat through aerial plays. But without success.
And it was "settling" for a point.
Then Vitinho made the difference, Carné couldn't hold it, and Yuri Alberto celebrated with the fans (91').
