Gary RedknappFootball AnalystINFORME DEL PARTIDO

Corinthians and Athletico played out a goalless draw in the Brasileiro Série A, with Athletico goalkeeper Santos earning the man-of-the-match award after a composed display. The result leaves both sides where they were, with no immediate fixture on the horizon to shift the mood.

The game lacked a decisive moment in front of goal, but it was not without incident. Corinthians pressed early, forcing Gastón Benavídez, Jádson, and Camilo Portilla into yellow cards for Athletico before the break, while André Ramalho, Matheuzinho, and Rodrigo Garro were also booked in a scrappy second period. Santos himself saw a late yellow, but his earlier work had already kept the hosts at bay.

Corinthians controlled the numbers, holding 52% possession, taking seven shots to Athletico's five, and earning six corners to two, yet they could not turn a 1.35 xG into a goal. The visitors created little in the first half but matched the hosts' 0.68 xG after the interval. Santos was the standout with an 8.2 rating, his clean sheet as goalkeeper earning him top marks despite a booking.
