Corinthians vs Coritiba

Coritiba stunned Corinthians 2-0 at the Neo Química Arena on Wednesday night, claiming their first-ever victory at the ground. A ruthless away performance in Round 5 of the Brasileirão left over 34,000 home fans with nothing to cheer about. Jacy Maranhão broke the deadlock on 36 minutes, rising highest to power a header into the corner from a Josué set-piece delivery. Coritiba wasted no time after the break either — Lucas Ronier doubled the lead on 52 minutes, latching onto another perfect Josué cross and finishing unmarked inside the box. The playmaker Josué was the architect of both goals, pulling the strings all evening from wide areas. The result drops Corinthians to eighth on seven points, missing a chance to close in on the league leaders. Coritiba climb to fifth and will fancy their top-four chances if they keep producing performances like this on the road.
