Benfica flop involved in Bragantino–Corinthians thrashing | OneFootball

Corinthians experienced a night of genuine nightmare in their first away game of the 2026 season. The team led by Ramón Díaz was defeated 3-0 by Bragantino, in a match where the opponent's superiority was evident from the first to the last minute. Among the notable figures of the match was André Carrillo, a player who had an inglorious stint at Benfica and who couldn't orchestrate Timão's reaction against his team's defensive collapse.

The game started to lean towards the home team in the first half, with Jhon Jhon taking the spotlight. At 35 minutes, a cross from the midfielder ended up in the back of Hugo Souza's net, opening the score. In the second half, the situation worsened for the São Paulo club. Jhon Jhon shone again by scoring a stunning goal at 57 minutes, after "twisting" the black-and-white defense.

Corinthians still tried to react with the entry of Yuri Alberto, who missed an unbelievable open-goal opportunity, but the final blow was delivered by Mosquera. At 77 minutes, the Bragantino forward sealed the 3-0 final, confirming an authoritative performance that left the former Eagles winger and his teammates without a response.

With this result, Bragantino maintains a perfect record in the Paulistão, while Corinthians plunges into a phase of doubts before the classic against São Paulo. For André Carrillo, who was signed by the "coringão" in 2024, continues to be marked by some inconsistency, recalling the times when he couldn't establish himself at Luz despite the high expectations surrounding his signing at the time.

It should be remembered that in 2016, André Carrillo - valued at 900 thousand euros - shocked Sporting fans by switching from the Lions to Benfica. At Luz, the Peruvian international played only one season. In 2016/2017, the forward made 32 appearances for the Eagles, scoring three goals and providing three assists.
