Corinthians defend long unbeaten run v Taubaté in Women's Paulista | OneFootball

Corinthians take the field this Wednesday (26) at 6:30 p.m. Brasília time to face Taubaté in the seventh and final round of the first phase of the Paulista Women’s Championship. Beyond the importance of the result for qualification, the Brabas go into the match defending an impressive record: the black-and-white team has never been beaten by this opponent.

Since the first meeting between the teams in 2017, 17 matches have been played, all in the state competition. Corinthians have won 16 and drawn just once. In total, the Brabas have scored 55 goals and conceded seven, making it 62 goals overall and an average of 3.65 goals per match.

The only time Timão did not come away with a win was in 2018. On that occasion, Corinthians and Taubaté drew 0-0. Since then, the club from Parque São Jorge has gone back to winning every meeting between the teams.

The dominance also shows in the most recent clashes. In the last five matches, played between 2022 and 2025, the Brabas won them all: 5-0 in 2022; 3-0 in 2023; 4-1 in 2024; as well as 5-1 and 3-0 in the two meetings held last season.

The most recent match took place on September 27, 2025, at Joaquinzão, in the Paulista Championship. Away from home, Corinthians secured a 3-0 win with goals from Juliete, Ivana Fuso, and Ariel Godoi.

First meeting and biggest rout

The history of this matchup began on May 21, 2017. In their first visit to Taubaté, Corinthians won 4-0 at Joaquinzão. Just over a month later, the teams met again and produced the most lopsided scoreline in the head-to-head record.

On July 2 of that year, Timão thrashed their opponent 7-1 at Arena Barueri. Nine years later, that result still stands as the biggest rout ever recorded between the two teams.

The head-to-head record also shows that home-field advantage has had little effect on Corinthians’ dominance. Joaquinzão has been the most frequent venue for the fixture, with eight matches and eight wins for the Brabas.

At Fazendinha, the venue for this Wednesday’s match, there have been five meetings. Corinthians won four of them and drew one. Therefore, besides never having lost to Taubaté in the overall record, Timão also remain unbeaten against the opponent at Parque São Jorge.

The other four matches were played at José Liberatti, Neo Química Arena, Canindé, and Arena Barueri. Corinthians won at all of those stadiums.

Top scorers include current squad members

The lead among the fixture’s top scorers is shared by three players. Adriana, Gabi Zanotti, and Grazi have each found the net four times against Taubaté.

Next come Geyse and Jaqueline, both with three goals. Juliete, Byanca Brasil, Ariel Godoi, Giovanna Crivelari, and Gabi Nunes complete the list of players who have scored at least twice in this matchup.

Among the leading scorers in the head-to-head record, four still play for Corinthians: Gabi Zanotti, Jaqueline, Juliete and Ariel Godoi. That means they will have the chance to add to their numbers in this Wednesday’s match. Zanotti, in fact, could take sole possession of the lead in the fixture’s scoring charts if she scores against Taubaté, while Jaqueline could take over the scoring lead for this season.

Corinthians x Taubaté since 2017

The run of results highlights the scale of Corinthians’ advantage. After the two wins in 2017, Corinthians faced Taubaté six times in 2018, recording five victories and the only draw in the head-to-head history.

In 2019, there were two more wins, by 1-0 and 3-1. Starting in 2020, the meetings took place once per season through 2024, always ending in a Corinthians victory: 4-0 in 2020, 3-0 in 2021, 5-0 in 2022, 3-0 in 2023, and 4-1 in 2024.

In the 2025 season, the clubs met again twice. In the first round, Corinthians won 5-1. Months later, they closed out the year against this opponent with a 3-0 win at Joaquinzão.

Now, the 18th chapter of this matchup will also carry weight for the Brabas’ situation in the Paulistão. Corinthians go into the final round of the first phase in fourth place with ten points and are still looking to improve their position in the table.
