Match Report
Internacional snatched a crucial 1-0 win over Corinthians at the Neo Química Arena, with Alexandro Bernabéi's stunning long-range strike proving the difference on a tense Sunday night in São Paulo.
The match was tight and physical throughout. Corinthians controlled possession — finishing the game at 65% — but lacked the cutting edge to turn it into chances. The deadlock broke in the 78th minute when Bernabéi picked up a quick counterattack and unleashed a superb strike from outside the box, leaving the home goalkeeper with no chance.
Five yellow cards were shared across the 90 minutes, with Internacional collecting three to Corinthians' two in a feisty affair. The hosts flooded forward in the final stages, racking up seven corners, but the visitors defended with resolve and discipline to see it out.
The result lifts Internacional to 12 points, easing any early-season nerves, while Corinthians remain stuck at 10 — winless at home and facing growing pressure to turn their campaign around.
