Corinthians win again after nine games, avoid worst run since 2007 | OneFootball

On the night of this Thursday (9), Corinthians faced Platense of Argentina at the Ciudad de Vicente López Stadium in the opening round of the 2026 Conmebol Libertadores group stage, and won 2-0. The Corinthians goals were scored by forwards Kayke and Yuri Alberto, both in the second half. The result put Corinthians at the top of Group E with three points.

Besides the win, Corinthians also ended a nine-match winless streak this season. Previously, their last positive result had come on February 19, when they beat Athletico-PR away from home at Arena da Baixada, 1-0, in the second round of the Brasileirão. Since then, there had been five draws (Portuguesa, Cruzeiro, Santos, Chapecoense and Flamengo) and four defeats (Novorizontino, Coritiba, Fluminense and Internacional) – five goals scored and 11 conceded.

The club from Parque São Jorge also avoided matching its worst winless run since 2007. That year, Corinthians went 10 matches without a win and ended up being relegated to Série B of the Brasileirão. The streak from 20 years ago included six draws (Paraná, Fluminense, São Paulo, Figueirense, Flamengo and Athletico-PR) and four defeats (Palmeiras, Sport, Internacional and Náutico). Tonight’s match marked Fernando Diniz’s debut in charge of Corinthians.

After winning in their Libertadores debut, Corinthians now turns its focus back to the Brazilian Championship. That is because next Sunday (12), at 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time), Alvinegro will face Palmeiras at Neo Química Arena in the 11th round of the national competition. Currently, Alvinegro is the first team outside the relegation zone with 10 points – two wins, four draws and four defeats – eight goals scored and 11 conceded.
