Outstanding performance
Chapecoense•MidfielderCorinthians dominated the underlying numbers, holding 62% possession, firing 16 shots to Chapecoense's 7, and racking up 75 dangerous attacks against just 21, yet found themselves beaten by a side that made its rare moments count. Matheus Bidu's second-minute opener and Breno Bidon's strike right before the break gave the hosts a 2-1 lead at halftime, but Marcinho's brace either side of that spell - the second arriving in the 77th minute - proved decisive. Chapecoense committed 17 fouls to Corinthians' 7 in a physical, stop-start affair, but their efficiency in front of goal, converting two of their seven shots while Corinthians squandered five big chances, told the real story. For Corinthians, this is a damaging result at home against a side they should be beating, while Chapecoense's smash-and-grab win offers a huge lift regardless of the pre-match odds against them.

Kick-off! The referee is Wagner do Nascimento Magalhaes.
Corinthians look to snap a losing skid at Arena Corinthians against a Chapecoense side rooted at the bottom of the table with the league's leakiest defense. But Fernando Diniz faces a selection headache with suspensions to Hugo Souza, Gabriel Paulista and Raniele testing his depleted squad.
