The performance surpassed the audience recorded by another recent match in the competition. The previous week, the broadcast of a Palmeiras game scored 19.4 points, lower than the figure achieved by Corinthians in the following round.

On the pitch, Timão won 2-0 and maintained a 100% record in the competition, reaching six points and taking the lead in Group E. The goals were scored by Raniele and Gustavo Henrique, both in the second half.

The strong audience performance continues a recent run of Corinthians matches standing out on television. Throughout March, the team’s games also ranked among the most-watched programs on their respective days, including matches in the Brazilian Championship.

Corinthians’ next match will be this Saturday (18), at 8:00 p.m. (Brasília time), against Vitória at Barradão, in the 12th round of the Brasileirão.
