After Copa do Brasil progress, Corinthians improve first-kit debut record | OneFootball

Corinthians faced Barra, from Santa Catarina, on the night of last Thursday (14), in the second leg of the fifth round of the 2026 Copa do Brasil, at Neo Química Arena, and won 1–0. Timão’s goal was scored by forward Yuri Alberto late in the second half. The win secured Alvinegro a place in the round of 16 after a 2–0 aggregate score.

The match also marked the debut of Corinthians’ home kit for the 2026/2027 season. The club from Parque São Jorge even improved its record in first matches wearing the home shirt since the 2016 season. Since then, there have been six wins, two draws, and four losses — 11 goals scored and 12 conceded. The success rate stands at 55.5%.

In 2024 and 2025, Alvinegro had been beaten by Flamengo 4–0 and 2–1, respectively, in the debuts of the new kits. Corinthians’ apparel collection for this season pays tribute to the Corinthians fans’ invasion of the Maracanã on December 5, 1976. On that occasion, 70,000 Corinthians supporters watched Timão qualify for the final of the national competition on penalties after a 1–1 draw in regular time.

It is worth remembering that, last Sunday (10), Corinthians debuted the away kit in the 3–2 win over São Paulo at Neo Química Arena, in the 15th round of the Brazilian Championship. Timão returns to the pitch on Sunday afternoon (17), at 4 p.m. (Brasília time), at Nilton Santos, to face Botafogo in the 16th round of the national tournament.
