Corinthians’ 3-0 win over Remo last Thursday (23) at Neo Química Arena marked the end of the first half of the Brazilian Championship, with Timão sitting in seventh place on 27 points, just three points away from the Conmebol Libertadores qualification zone.

In addition to the positive result, three black-and-white players stood out for their individual performances and the numbers they have posted throughout the competition. Starters against the team from Pará, Breno Bidon, Zakaria Labyad, and Matheus Bidu remain among Corinthians’ main statistical standouts in the 2026 Brasileirão.

Breno Bidon was one of the match’s key figures, directly contributing to the second goal. The midfielder found Kaio César with a precise pass for the opener, recording his first assist in the national competition.

Beyond his offensive contribution, the player leads Corinthians in ground duels won in the Brasileirão, also showing consistency in marking and build-up play. In 17 matches played, Bidon has two goals, one assist, 16 key passes, an 86% pass completion rate, 86 ground duels won, 23 tackles, a 61% dribble success rate, and 49 fouls suffered. Those numbers earned the midfielder an average rating of 6.99 on Sofascore.

Another decisive name in the win was Zakaria Labyad. The Moroccan forward provided the assist for one of Yuri Alberto’s goals and once again showed efficiency whenever he features in Corinthians matches.

Even though he has started only two of the 15 matches he has played, Zakaria is the squad player who needs the least time to be directly involved in a goal in 2026. He has four goal contributions, averaging one every 88 minutes on the pitch. The forward also has two assists, two goals, four big chances created, 16 key passes, a 75% dribble success rate, and an average rating of 6.72 on Sofascore.

Matheus Bidu is also enjoying a great run of form. The left-back started again against Remo and remains one of the competition’s top defensive names. According to a survey by R10 Score, Bidu leads the Brazilian Championship among defenders both in balls recovered, with 106, and in duels won, with 99.

With all three players in top form and directly contributing to the team’s performances, Corinthians end the first half of the domestic season on the rise. While Breno Bidon and Zakaria were responsible for two of the assists in the win over Remo, Matheus Bidu maintained the high defensive level that places him among the standout players in his position in the Brasileirão.
