The Fox had two good chances with Kaio Jorge, while Timão scared in a free kick from Memphis Depay, which Cássio - in his first match against the club where he is an idol, defended. After the break, the scenario did not change much. Kaiki and Matheus Pereira almost scored for Cruzeiro in bombs that Hugo defended. Corinthians, which created little and practically did not scare Cássio, arrived with danger in the strong finish from outside the area of Depay, but the celestial goalkeeper defended. The Dutchman almost opened the score in the final minute, but Cássio sent it to the corner. In the sequence of the move, Villalba took a header on the line.🚦 Where it stands With the result, Cruzeiro remained at the top, now with 34 points.

Barbosa double fires Cruzeiro to 4-0 win over Juventude
Rio De Janeiro, July 21 (UNI) Gabriel Barbosa struck two second-half goals as leaders Cruzeiro cruised to a 4-0 home win over Juventude in Brazil's Serie A championship. '' Christian Cardoso put the hosts ahead by volleying home from close range and Barbosa doubled the lead with an assured finish following Kaio Jorge's cross on Sunday. Barbosa converted from the penalty spot after Marcos Paulo stamped on Kaio Jorge while contesting a loose ball. Carlos Eduardo completed the rout in stoppage time, latching onto Yannick Bolasie's nodded pass to send a looping header into the top-left corner. The result leaves Cruzeiro with 33 points from 15 games, three points ahead of second-placed Flamengo, while Juventude sits 18th, 22 points further back. Despite his team's impressive start to the season, Barbosa said talk of a title challenge was premature. "I've won two Brazilian Serie A titles and I know that nobody is champion after 15 rounds," the former Flamengo striker said. "There is a long way to go. No team is going to be thinking about the title at this stage of the season. We are taking things game by game. Our next game against Corinthians on Wednesday is going to be tough away from home and we're going to do our best to win." In other Brazilian Serie A fixtures on Sunday, Flamengo won 1-0 at home to Fluminense, Palmeiras prevailed 3-2 at home to Atletico Mineiro, Botafogo won 1-0 at Sport Recife, Vitoria edged Bragantino 1-0 at home and Internacional beat Ceara 1-0 in Porto Alegre.
