Castan, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.31. Castan won 4 of 8 duels.
A 2-2 draw was the result before that, hosting Juventude.The attacking power of Coritiba when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 8 league matches away. For Coritiba, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net. It's worth mentioning that 9 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches. Coritiba has visited these top teams two times, and 2 of 2 has ended with 2 goals or more!
