Another setback without Memphis Depay and with Seedorf in the stands

Corinthians This Monday they chained their ninth game without winning in the Brazilian Championship after drawing at home 1-1 with Vitória, under the watchful eye of Clarence Seedorfwho followed the duel from the stands waiting to make his official debut on the black and white bench.

Without Memphis Depayabsent due to suspension, the São Paulo team deserved more, but the interventions of the rival goalkeeper and the lack of success in the last meters prevented them from taking the three points at the Neo Química Arena.

Renê put the visitors ahead in the added time of the first half and Yuri Alberto, who had not scored since the end of July due to a long injury, equalized with a penalty in the 66th minute, in this last match of the 31st round of the Brazilian Championship.

‘Timão’ put an end to a streak of eight consecutive defeats in the League, but is still without a win and continues to be close to the relegation zone, from which it is just one point away.

Seedorf, new coach of the first team after the dismissal of former Brazilian coach Fernando Diniz, watched the game in situ from the stands, since he has not yet been able to settle his papers.

The commitment to the former Real Madrid player, who had been inactive as a coach for seven years, surprised Corinthian fans who fear the club’s relegation to the second division of the Brazilian Championship.

Corinthians currently has 33 points, just one more than Internacional de Porto Alegre, which marks the relegation zone, with just seven days left in the championship.
