Corinthians go five games without conceding, matching 2022 mark | OneFootball

Corinthians reached an important defensive milestone this season. With the 1-0 win over Barra-SC last Tuesday (21) in the Copa do Brasil, the club recorded five consecutive matches without conceding a goal — a streak that had not been achieved since 2022.

The team’s defensive performance has been one of its recent highlights, as it managed to keep a solid structure even while playing away from home. The last time Corinthians had reached a similar run was between April and May 2022, under Vítor Pereira.

The current streak began in early April and includes matches in different competitions. During this period, the black-and-white side alternated between wins and draws, but managed to keep a clean sheet in every game.

Check out the current clean-sheet streak:

The strong defensive form coincides with the arrival of head coach Fernando Diniz, who took over the team in early April. Since then, Corinthians have played five matches, recording three wins and two draws, with five goals scored and none conceded.

For comparison, the last streak of five matches without being breached came in 2022, when Corinthians also managed to maintain defensive consistency in matches in the Brasileirão, Libertadores and Copa do Brasil.

Look back at the 2022 streak:

Now, Corinthians are looking to keep the streak going in their upcoming fixtures this season. The team returns to action on Sunday (26) at 4 p.m. Brasília time, when they face Vasco at Neo Química Arena in the 13th round of the Brazilian Championship.
