It was a match in which neither team was able to make the most of the best moment of the match, and the draw proved to be a good result for Inter.
The match started practically 1-0 for them, with a failed pass, if I’m not mistaken, by Gabriel, who caught the entire defense on the way out, and Yuri Alberto was in the best possible position to shoot, on the edge of the area. , unmarked.
Inter took control of the match after the goal, dominated in the centre, abused plays on the left, but managed to score with a deflected shot. In the best play of the evening, the defender saved with his chest almost above the line; and Inter are unable to extend their lead despite dominating the match.
In the second half Corinthians were better, playing on the flanks and distributing well in the centre, leaving Inter a bit cornered, with little chance to play and control the match.
The goal came from a penalty, one of those in which it is not known whether the rule applies or not, or whether the rule is applicable to the situation. In my layman’s opinion, if there is a very close deviation, the penalty is not awarded; and it was the interpretation used in the match between Flamengo and Corinthians for the Copa do Brasil, when the ball hit the open arm of a Corinthians defender, immediately after having deflected a header into the area.
The lack of judgment in Brazilian refereeing is evident and I won’t even mention the stamp on Valencia’s ankle.
Corinthians broke the tie and looked for victory, as the situation became more complicated as the rounds progressed and they did not achieve much due to Rochet’s defenses. Roger also looked for victory and opened the match aware of the risks he was taking.
The equalizer came at a great moment, with a great goal from someone who two weeks ago felt incapable of playing for Inter because he had missed a goal.
And it was a beautiful goal, which silenced the stadium and fulfilled Yuri Alberto’s declaration of not beating Inter.
Even if it wasn’t a game of affirmation, even if Alan Patrick played in attack again, it was a game in which we looked for an equalizer twice, in a very difficult position to beat the home team, no matter how bad it was. ugly.
Indeed, Corinthians strengthened well in the window, and the pieces began to fall into place, so much so that, regardless of the fact that the goal came in injury time, it was a result that better reflected both phases of the match.
I liked the new defender better, but we still failed a lot in positioning. In Yuri Alberto’s ball to the post, Vitão also guides Sampaio and Bernabei, but neither of them marks the player who entered the middle of the area, and on Yuri Alberto’s disallowed goal the defense does not mark anyone. This marking must be changed.
