Corinthians lose back-to-back Brasileirão games again after four months | OneFootball

Corinthians left Couto Pereira with yet another negative result in the Brazilian Championship. Last Sunday (23), Timão ended up being beaten 2-1 by Coritiba in the 24th round and once again recorded a run of two consecutive defeats in the competition after a gap of more than four months.

The setback in Curitiba came right after another adverse result. On August 16, the team coached by Fernando Diniz had lost to Cruzeiro by the same score at Neo Química Arena. The last time Corinthians had suffered consecutive defeats in Brasileirão matches had been in April.

At that time, still under Dorival Júnior, the team lost 3-1 to Fluminense at the Maracanã and, four days later, was beaten 1-0 by Internacional in Itaquera. The defeat to the team from Rio Grande do Sul, in fact, marked the end of Dorival’s spell in charge. During that unstable period, Corinthians also went through a run of nine rounds without a win in the Brazilian Championship.

The latest slip-up also had consequences for Timão’s position in the table. With the round’s results, the club dropped one place and now sits 10th, with 32 points from 24 matches.

Now, Corinthians will have a full week to work before returning to the pitch. The next match will be on Sunday (30) at 4 p.m., against Santos at Neo Química Arena, in the 25th round of the Brasileirão.
