Cascavel 1:1 Corinthians — Match Report

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Raniele pulled the strings in midfield as Corinthians fought out a 1-1 draw with Cascavel in this Club Friendly, a result that gives neither side much to build on ahead of the new campaign. The match was a low-key affair typical of pre-season, with both teams feeling their way into the contest.

The deadlock was broken on 61 minutes when Matheus Pereira put Corinthians ahead, but Cascavel hit back nine minutes later through Cleiton dos Santos Damaceno to level the score. The game had simmered with tension before that, Ian and Geovane both booked for the home side and André Ramalho cautioned for Corinthians in a first half that lacked clear chances.

Corinthians edged the statistics with 52% possession and three corners to Cascavel's one, suggesting they were the more proactive side without ever dominating. Raniele was the standout performer with an 8.53 rating from his midfield position, orchestrating play without finding the net. CheckLive's model clearly favoured Corinthians but the draw proved the prediction incorrect, as the visitors failed to turn their slight territorial advantage into a winning goal.
