Corinthians vs Vasco da Gama

Corinthians dug deep for a 1-0 victory over Vasco da Gama at the Neo Química Arena on Sunday, surviving the final 45 minutes with ten men. Matheus Bidu was the hero, latching onto a Rodrigo Garro through ball and finishing low into the corner in the 37th minute. The left-back's goal proved decisive, but the real drama came moments later. Midfielder André was dismissed for a dangerous challenge on Thiago Mendes, who required extended medical attention, leaving Corinthians a man short for the entire second half. Vasco pressed relentlessly — finishing with 60% possession and seven shots on target — but goalkeeper Kauê Camargo was equal to everything thrown at him. For Corinthians and coach Fernando Diniz, the result snaps a lengthy winless run in the Brasileirão, though the side remains in the relegation zone. Vasco, led by Renato Gaúcho, see a two-match winning streak halted — a frustrating afternoon given their numerical and statistical superiority.
