Internacional beat Corinthians 2-0 in the Round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil, ending the visitors' unbeaten run in their previous five outings with a second-half display built on two well-taken goals. The goalless first half gave little hint of what followed, but Paulo Pezzolano's side found the breakthrough shortly after the hour mark.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Internacional 30%, the draw 28%, Corinthians 42%. It finished Internacional 2–0 Corinthians.
Corinthians' rating edge outweighs Internacional's home ground — Corinthians are the stronger side on our strength rating, and their control of the ball on top gives Corinthians the lean. The draw at 28% is about what a gap this size usually leaves.
Why Corinthians at 42%?
Corinthians sit 111 points higher on our strength rating — 1634 to 1746. Sides with a 100–200-point rating edge on the road won 40.2% of 13,006 such games. Corinthians hold 7 more possession points (55 to 48 in recent games) across a 111-point rating gap. Control now carries a receipt beyond near-equals too: sides with this control edge at a 75–150-point rating gap won 42.6% of 8,554 such games where the class table expected 41.3%. The 300 most similar past games finished 38–29–33.
Why only 42%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 42% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 28% and Internacional at 30%.
Why the draw at 28%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 27.2%. These teams' recent games average 2.8 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.6% of 24,706. The control factor adds 1.2 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Corinthians scored +0.55 goals per game beyond chance-quality lately — hot streaks like that have cooled off. Measured across 2,727 games at this rating gap, hot-finishing sides won 42.0% vs 42.9% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it scores 0 until the receipt clears its evidence bar. Corinthians are missing 2 regular starters — Yuri Alberto, Matheus Bidu — about 23% of their usual starting-XI weight. A body count alone told us nothing. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
