After winning the Supercopa do Brasil last weekend, coach Dorival Júnior fielded a mostly reserve team.
Striker Kaio César made his debut for Timão but ended up getting injured and was replaced by Dieguinho 15 minutes into the game.
Without much intensity, Corinthians saw Capivariano score with Carlos Eduardo, with a little "help" from goalkeeper Felipe Longo. However, the play was ruled offside.
After the break, in a good collective play before the 10-minute mark, Matheus Bidu exchanged passes with Garro and Gui Negão to enter the area and assist Dieguinho, who was free to open the scoring.
Later, Gui Negão headed in a tight cross from the right to extend Timão's lead.
To complete the "Filhos do Terrão" show, Kayke exchanged passes with Depay at the edge of the area and curved the ball beautifully into the top corner.
🫶 Tributes
Before the match, Corinthians paid tribute to former player BasÃlio.
A banner reading "Superchampion of Brazil" was displayed at the Neo QuÃmica Arena, where fans also saw the trophy "presented" by Gabriel Paulista.
