Coritiba vs Corinthians
Match Report
Coritiba finally broke a curse that had lasted nearly 15 years, beating Corinthians 2-1 at Couto Pereira for its first home win over the club since 2011. The standout moment came from Pedro Rocha, who silenced doubters to become Coxa's top scorer this season and was applauded by the home crowd as he came off.
Pedro Rocha opened the scoring in the 40th minute, and Paulo Roberto doubled the lead early in the second half. Raniele pulled one back late for Corinthians, but it wasn't enough. Yellow cards went to Josué and Thiago Santos for the hosts, and Breno Bidon and Gustavo Henrique for the visitors — no red cards or penalties in a fiercely contested but clean affair.
The win lifts Coritiba to 34 points and 8th place, keeping alive its push toward a Copa Libertadores spot, just five points off the G5. Corinthians stay stuck on 31 points in 10th, still searching for the consistency to climb the table.
