SAO PAULO (Reuters) – Roger Guedes scored a hattrick as Corinthians beat Avai 3-0 to keep up their profitable begin to Brazil’s Serie A.
The opener got here in 9 minutes after good work from Du Queiroz. His dribble took him into the Avai field and when he was tackled an unmarked Guedes swept residence the unfastened ball from eight meters out.
His second got here 17 minutes later after he lower in from the left and his third, 10 minutes into the second half, was a chunk of opportunistic ending when the ball fell to him near objective.
It is the primary time a Corinthians participant has scored three objectives within the one sport since July 2018 and it means they now have six factors from two video games following their opening victory over Botafogo final weekend.
Avai have three factors from their first two matches.
