Corinthians are the second most sent-off team in this season’s Brasileirão | OneFootball

Corinthians ranks among the most undisciplined teams in the country in 2025. After 35 rounds of the Brazilian Championship, the team has accumulated nine expulsions, placing it second in the national ranking, only behind Fortaleza, which leads with ten red cards.

The most recent expulsion occurred on Sunday, against Cruzeiro. Midfielder José Martínez received a direct red card for violent conduct after elbowing Matheus Pereira in the back. The VAR called the referee for a review, and the player left the field with less than 20 minutes of participation.

However, this episode is not an isolated case. Martínez himself had already been expelled two weeks earlier, against Red Bull Bragantino, when he received two yellow cards in the interior of São Paulo.

A notable statistic is the number of expulsions applied to members of the coaching staff. Four of the nine red cards were directed at professionals who weren't even on the field. Besides Dorival Júnior, the list includes Ramón Díaz, Marcelo Carpes, and analyst Raony Thadeu.

The high number of cards is also reflected in warnings. Corinthians has a total of 105 yellow cards in the Brasileirão, placing it again in second place among Serie A teams with the most penalties. Red Bull Bragantino leads the ranking with 106 warnings.
