The result against Cruzeiro also kept Corinthians with a 100% record at Canindé in 2026. The team has played four matches at the stadium this season, winning all of them. Before this Monday’s clash, the Brabas had defeated Santos 4-1, Vitória 4-0, and Mixto 4-1, all in the first phase of the Brazilian Women’s Championship.

Corinthians improves knockout record at Canindé

The match against Cruzeiro was Corinthians’ sixth knockout tie at Canindé. With this Monday’s victory, the team’s record in those games now stands at four wins, one draw, and one loss.

The Brabas’ first knockout match at the stadium took place in August 2024, in the Brazilian Women’s Championship. In the second leg of the quarterfinals, Corinthians beat Red Bull Bragantino 1-0, with a goal from Vic Albuquerque. In September of that same year, Timão faced Palmeiras in the Brasileirão semifinal. The black-and-white side lost 2-1, but advanced to the final with a 4-3 aggregate advantage.

Still in 2024, Canindé hosted another Corinthians knockout match. In November, in the Campeonato Paulista semifinals, Alvinegro beat São Paulo 1-0, even while playing as the away side.

In the 2025 season, there were two more knockout ties at the stadium. In August, Corinthians and São Paulo drew 2-2 in the second leg of the Brasileirão semifinal, a result that confirmed Corinthians’ qualification after a 2-0 win in the first leg.

Then in December, the Brabas faced Palmeiras in the Campeonato Paulista final. Corinthians won the second match 1-0, but finished as runners-up after a 5-1 defeat in the first game. Now, the victory over Cruzeiro becomes Corinthians’ fourth win in six knockout ties played at Canindé.

Overall record remains impressive

This Monday’s victory reinforces the positive relationship Corinthians has built with the stadium. In 22 matches at Canindé, the club has 20 wins, along with two draws and two losses, with 67 goals scored and only nine conceded.

In 2026, however, the record is even more remarkable: four matches, four wins, 14 goals scored, and only three conceded.

Qualification for the Brasileirão semifinals came as yet another positive result at a stadium that is increasingly establishing itself as one of the main stages for the Brabas.
