Playing away from home, Corinthians secured a great victory against Cruzeiro this Wednesday, in the first leg of the Copa do Brasil semifinals. The 1-0 score was achieved by Timão with tremendous support from the Fiel, who pushed the team for the entire 90 minutes and impressed many people on social media. 

Cruzeiro fan pages and profiles acknowledged the great party thrown by Corinthians fans, and stated that Cruzeiro’s supporters were also “quieter than usual”. 

5% for each

This Wednesday, a little over 59,000 people attended the match at Mineirão. Of these, around 3,000 tickets were allocated to Corinthians fans. 

For both legs of this Copa do Brasil semifinal, the clubs’ managements agreed on allocating 5% of the stadiums’ capacity to visiting fans. Thus, 3,000 tickets were sold to Corinthians supporters, while for the return leg, approximately 2,400 tickets will go to Cruzeiro fans. 

Perfect campaign in 2025 so far

So far, Corinthians is having an almost perfect campaign in this edition of the Copa do Brasil. In seven matches, Timão has won all seven and has yet to concede a goal.  

The return leg between Corinthians and Cruzeiro will be this Sunday, at 6 p.m. (Brasília time), at Neo Química Arena. Timão has the advantage of a draw, while Raposa will need to win the match to take the decision, at the very least, to a penalty shootout.
