First-Half Momentum and Marcinho’s Equalizer
Matheus Bidu opened the scoring for the home side in the 2nd minute of the first half, putting Corinthians ahead early. However, during the team’s best offensive stretch before halftime, Chapecoense leveled the score. At the 40th minute, Heitor received the ball on the right wing and crossed it to the near post. Marcinho ran free of markers, directed his shot past goalkeeper Kauê into the corner, and tied the match at 1-1, according to official match logs.
Just five minutes after conceding, Corinthians thought they had regained the lead. Allan launched a long ball to the flank for Bidu, whose low cross found Breno Bidon for a backheel finish. The play would have resulted in a remarkable goal for the number seven, but the effort was disallowed due to Bidu being caught in an offside position at the start of the sequence.
Chapecoense Secures Late Winner in the Second Half
The decisive goal of the match arrived in the latter stages of the second half. In the 32nd minute, goalkeeper Anderson launched a goal kick, Garcez flicked it on, and Bolasie burst down the left side. The Congolese forward delivered a left-footed cross into the box where Marcinho arrived unmarked through the center to score his second of the night, sealing a 2-1 victory for the visitors.
