Gary RedknappFootball AnalystINFORME DEL PARTIDO

Maurício scored twice in the first half as Palmeiras beat Coritiba 3-1 in the Brasileiro Série A, setting up a home fixture against Atlético Mineiro on 26 July. The midfielder’s early double put the result beyond doubt before half-time, and Palmeiras never looked back.

The match was decided inside the opening 19 minutes when Maurício finished from Ramón Sosa's cross in the 9th minute and then added a second unassisted in the 19th, leaving Coritiba stunned. Ramón Sosa extended the lead in the 67th minute with Joaquín Piquerez providing the assist, before Paulo Roberto pulled one back for the hosts a minute later from Josué's delivery. Four yellow cards punctuated the contest, but no red cards or VAR interventions altered the flow.

Coritiba had 51% possession and fired 17 shots to Palmeiras’ 13, yet the visitors’ 0.71 xG edged the hosts’ 0.65, and Palmeiras controlled the first half with 62% of the ball. Coritiba dominated the second half in possession and shots but could not turn that pressure into more than a consolation. Maurício was the standout with a rating of 8.4, two goals from midfield, and his side’s chief threat. CheckLive’s model clearly favoured Palmeiras and the result confirmed that prediction. Next, Palmeiras host Atlético Mineiro.
