Part 5/6:
The match was vital for Corinthians not just for the points it secured, but also for maintaining momentum in a crowded schedule that includes the Copa Libertadores. With no available dates to reschedule matches due to calendar constraints, playing — regardless of conditions — was imperative. The victory allowed the team to regain focus ahead of tougher matches against opponents like Palmeiras and Santos.
Thales Magnum’s goal, executed with finesse despite the heavy water on the pitch, highlighted not only his skills but also the perseverance necessitated to score in such challenging circumstances. His ability to creatively maneuver the ball set him apart and provided the much-needed three points for Corinthians.
