Corinthians Under-20s put together a first winning run this season | OneFootball

Corinthians U-20 is enjoying its best spell of the season. Last Saturday, the black-and-white side beat Portuguesa Santista 2-0 at Fazendinha in the third round of the Paulista Championship and reached a new milestone in 2026: three consecutive wins.

The streak began on June 5, when Timãozinho opened its state campaign with a 1-0 win over Mirassol. On that occasion, the winning goal was scored by center-back Iago Machado. In the next match, valid for the Brazilian U-20 Championship, Corinthians thrashed Avaí 6-2, a result that provided momentum for the latest victory over Portuguesa Santista.

Until then, the most the team coached by William Batista had managed this season was two straight wins. That happened at the end of April, when Timão beat Criciúma 2-1 and, in the following round, defeated São Paulo 1-0. Both matches were played away from home in the Brazilian championship for the category.

To find the last run of three positive results for Corinthians U-20, it was necessary to go back to the second half of 2025. During that period, the team closed out the first phase of the Paulista Championship by beating Jabaquara 3-2 and, shortly after, opened the knockout stage by overcoming XV de Piracicaba on two consecutive occasions: first 1-0 away from home and then 3-1 at Parque São Jorge.

In addition to the run of wins, the squad also reached another important mark this season. The victories over Avaí and Portuguesa Santista represented the first time in 2026 that Corinthians won two straight matches at Fazendinha.

The campaign in the Paulista Championship also remains flawless. As it had a bye in the opening round and won the two matches it has played so far, Timãozinho maintains a perfect record in the state competition.

Now, the team awaits the conclusion of the other matches in the round to learn its exact position in the standings. Corinthians' next challenge already has a date set. On Wednesday the 17th, the team will play again at Fazendinha to face Vitória in a match valid for the 16th round of the Brazilian U-20 Championship. Kickoff is scheduled for 3 p.m.
