Corinthians made the better chances and still shared the points

Corinthians had far more of the ball and more chances than usual, but a penalty was all they had to show against Vitoria.

Corinthians had 1.56 expected goals, a measure that scores each chance by how likely it was to go in, based on where and how it was taken. That is well above their usual 0.96 at home, so the chances they made were of better quality than they normally create in front of their own supporters. They still finished with one goal, and it came from the penalty spot.

The ball was mostly theirs too. Corinthians had 68% of possession, against a home average of 55.6%, and 20 shots, compared with a usual 13.6 at home. Eleven of those came from inside the box. Vitoria had 32% of the ball, below their away average of 41.2%, and five shots, where they usually take 14 away. Every one of those five was on target, so the visitors made their attempts count.

Vitoria took the lead in the 45th minute through Carlos Renê de Sousa Ferreira, and Corinthians' equaliser was a penalty. A VAR check, the video review used to look again at major decisions, confirmed the award at the 62nd minute, and Yuri Alberto scored from the spot at the 66th. Late on, at the 89th minute, another VAR review cancelled a penalty linked to Corinthians, so the score stayed level.

At the other end, Corinthians conceded one goal, below their usual 1.8 at home, while Vitoria also conceded one against an away average of 1.7. Vitoria's chances came to 0.84 expected goals, above their own away average of 0.70, and Corinthians usually concede 1.06 expected goals at home. In goal, Hugo Souza made four saves for the home side, and Lucas Arcanjo made five for the visitors. Arcanjo's rating of 7.72 was the highest in the match.

The set pieces and discipline tell a similar story. Corinthians had nine corners to Vitoria's one, while Vitoria were flagged offside four times against one for the home side. Vitoria picked up the only yellow card of the night, and neither side saw a red. None of these figures changes the outcome, but they show where the pressure was coming from.

In the table, Corinthians are 16th after 31 matches, and Vitoria are 13th from the same number of games. Corinthians arrive from a run of six straight defeats, having scored in five of those and conceded in all six. Vitoria's recent form is more mixed, with a couple of wins and a draw among their defeats.

The point takes Vitoria to 37 points, while Corinthians remain on 33 after a match in which their chances outran their goals.
