Cruzeiro edged a tight contest at Corinthians, winning 2-1 with an 82nd-minute winner from Wanderson. The visitors had taken the lead through Bruno Rodrigues, only for Gustavo Henrique to level for the hosts, before Wanderson struck late. Corinthians had more possession and more shots, yet Cruzeiro took their chances.
Bruno Rodrigues put Cruzeiro ahead on 36 minutes, and Corinthians needed until the 58th to respond, Gustavo Henrique scoring the equaliser. The game looked to be heading for a draw until Wanderson finished from Luciano Rodriguez's assist in the 82nd minute. That proved the decisive moment.
The statistics show just how close the game was: Corinthians shaded possession at 53 per cent and led the shot count 19-15, with both teams registering six shots on target. Cruzeiro's greater ruthlessness made the difference – they scored their one big chance while Corinthians missed theirs – and the visitors edged the expected-goals battle 1.28 to 1.19.
