Rio De Janeiro, Brazil (My Sportsbook) - Corinthians is just two years removed from winning the league title, however, the club's 1-1 draw with Gremio on Sunday left the team in 17th place and in position to be relegated to Serie B next season. Corinthians entered the league's final day with a one-point lead on Goias, but after being held to a 1-1 draw, Corinthians realized that they were headed down after receiving word that Goias had rallied for a 2-1 win over Internacional, moving Goias one point ahead and out of the relegation zone. Juventude, Parana and America-Natal will join Corinthians in the second division next season. Jonas put Corinthians in a hole just two minutes into the game with a header, but Corinthians responded through Clodoaldo in the 31st to level the match. Corinthians became desperate in the second half to grab all three points, but they were unable to produce another goal and when Heverton was sent off in the 89th minute, their fate was sealed. |
