Corinthians go top of Women's Brasileirão, secure first-leg home tie | OneFootball

On the night of this Monday (3), Corinthians went to the Luso-Brasileiro Stadium in Rio de Janeiro to face Flamengo in a match valid for the 14th round of the first phase of the 2026 Brazilian Women’s Championship, and beat the opponent 1-0. The Brabas’ goal was scored by forward Jhonson in the first half.

The result saw Alvinegro reclaim the lead of the national competition with 34 points — 11 wins, one draw and two losses — with 36 goals scored and 13 conceded. São Paulo and Palmeiras are in second and third place with 32 and 31 points, respectively. It is worth remembering that Timão secured its place in the tournament quarterfinals with four rounds to spare.

In addition, the club from Parque São Jorge also secured home-field advantage in the second leg at least in the quarterfinals, although it has not yet guaranteed the overall top spot. Bahia, in fifth place with 24 points, no longer has any chance of overtaking Timão in the standings. In the knockout stage, the points total continues to be counted.

Ferroviária are in fourth place with 26 points. Between sixth and eighth place at the moment are Cruzeiro (24 points), Internacional (23 points) and Flamengo (23 points). It is also worth noting that the Brabas are the tournament’s biggest winners with seven titles — 2018, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025.

After beating Flamengo away from home in the Brazilian Championship, Alvinegro remains focused on the national competition. That is because next Sunday (9), at 4 p.m. (Brasília time), at Canindé Stadium, they will play in a match valid for the 15th round of the tournament.

In addition to the Brazilian Championship, Alvinegro still has the Campeonato Paulista and the Conmebol Libertadores to play until the end of the season, which will be held between October 15 and 31 in Ecuador. Alvinegro has six titles in the international competition — 2017, 2019, 2021, 2023, 2024 and 2025. In the state competition, meanwhile, Corinthians sit in fourth place with seven points — two wins, one draw and two losses — with 10 goals scored and five conceded.
