″Here, the hand on the ball gave a kick, in our house, in their goal, nothing happened

Vitor Pereira’s statements, at the end of the match with Flamengo (1-0), regarding the second leg of the Libertadores quarter-final.

Elimination reaction: “The match was competitive, and we discussed head-on until they scored goals. We played a good game, pressed in an organized way, tied the flanks, created problems, and lacked a better definition in the final third. That was even the goal.”

Arbitration Complaints: “The tie was settled in the second half at home. After the goal and the sending off, of course, it would be almost impossible to reverse the situation. Here, the hand on the ball led to the sending off, in our court, we had a hand on the ball in our first goal and it didn’t give anything, I scored. A target against us.”

On the bright side: “How long has it been since Corinthians have reached this stage? How many players have Corinthians dropped in the Libertadores? Ten players. Who got here, was eliminated by whom? By Flamengo. Who has a team…”
