In each day that passes of the 2022 season of the Brasileirão Serie A, we have been able to observe how the teams have each shown their respective weapons in the games they have played and, therefore, we are not surprised by the quality that there is at the moment in the Brazilian soccer.
Although the flight of talent has been the main problem in Brazilian soccer, where the young promises decide to emigrate to Europe where the best leagues in the world are, in recent years we have seen how many soccer players decide to stay at home to have professional experience, while others go to Europe for astronomical fees by American standards, making it easier for Brazilian teams to form winning projects.
With 10 games played, we can say that there is no longer a team that is the favorite to finish in the first place. There is a very nice battle between various teams to be at the top of the standings and, right now, any of them could be leading the championship.

The current leader of the Brazilian Championship, Corinthians, suffered an unexpected defeat this Tuesday, June 7 against Cuiabá with a score of 0-1. Cuiabá with this victory takes the oxygen that seems to be lacking to get out of the bottom of the table.
Corinthians became the owner of the ball and the match, generating several scoring chances in the first half that they could not finish with a shot inside the rival goal. While their rivals took advantage of a ball served through their left side, Uendel Pereira (former Corinthians) shot from outside the area and beat the Corinthians goalkeeper.
So much was the frustration of the coach after this goal that he made 4 substitutions for the start of the second half, something that Corinthians had never done since the 5 substitutions were implemented in previous years. But, this did not help him, since Cuiabá managed to maintain the result and achieve their first victory in their last 5 games.
With this result, Corinthians has left the first place in the table at the mercy of its pursuers, since, right now, it could go down to second place in the table if certain results are given.
Result: Cuiabá (1) – (0) Corinthians

After the defeat of Corinthians last Tuesday, the table was set for Atlético Mineiro to storm first place in the standings, but they did not count on a fast-paced offensive from Fluminense who, after two consecutive defeats, unloaded a gale of goals last Wednesday to beat them with a score of 5-3.
Fluminense respected their home, the mythical Maracanã Stadium, and beat up the opposition, thanks to goals from Colombian Jhon Arias, Argentine Germán Cano (x2), Samuel Xavier, and Luiz Henrique.

With just 9 minutes played in the second half, Mineiro equalized the score 3-3 thanks to Eduardo Sasha’s goal, but the joy lasted only 4 minutes since Germán Cano scored his second goal of the night to return the advantage to the locals. Finally, 5 minutes later, Luis Henrique gave the final blow to the game and the final score of 5-3.
Result: Fluminense (5) – (3) Atlético Mineiro

One of the closest matches we had on day 10 of the Brazilian championship was, without a doubt, this one between Coritiba and São Paulo. And everything we expected from this match, both teams proved it, since they ended with a 1-1 draw in what was one of the best matches they have played so far in the tournament.
The match started in the best possible way for São Paulo, since, just 4 minutes after the initial whistle, they managed to open the scoring thanks to a goal from Jonathan Calleri. From then on, São Paulo grew and little by little generated more scoring opportunities, but the lack of effectiveness of their forwards, together with Coritiba’s excellent defensive display, prevented them from scoring another goal.
In the second half, Coritiba came out determined to match the actions and did so in the 59th minute, after a very good goal by Alef Manga.
This tie is the fourth in a row for São Paulo and places it in sixth place in the table with 15 points, only 4 from first place. While Coritiba is also with 15 points, but in fifth place in the table because they have won 4 games.
Result: Coritiba (1) – (1) São Paulo
