Corinthians secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Bahia, showcasing a revitalized defense under new coach Ramón Díaz. Romero’s decisive goal was a testament to the team’s tactical revamp, now utilizing a three-center-back formation with André Ramalho making a strong debut. Ramalho’s seamless integration bolstered the team’s defense, leading them to their first clean sheet in months.
His stellar performance, highlighted by 14 defensive actions and a commendable pass completion rate, alongside Cacá and Torres, effectively foiled Bahia’s attacks. This strategic victory signifies a potential defensive resurgence for Corinthians, who had struggled in previous games.
Looking ahead, Corinthians will face Grêmio in their next challenge at Neo Química Arena, testing their newfound defensive resolve. The game in Salvador not only secured three points but also hints at a promising future for the team’s defensive capabilities.
