Corinthians lose home and away to Fluminense for first time since 2022 | OneFootball

Corinthians fell 3-1 to Fluminense at Neo Química Arena in the 28th round of the Brasileiro, completing a league double for the Rio side for the first time since 2022 on Sunday.

Earlier in the season at the Maracanã, Fluminense won 3-1 when Corinthians were still led by Dorival Júnior. In the return fixture in Itaquera, Marcão's team prevailed again. According to Meu Timao, the setback has deepened a troubled spell and increased scrutiny on the staff, with Fernando Diniz kept on after executive of football Marcelo Paz endorsed his stay at the squad's request.

The last time Corinthians failed to take a point against Fluminense in the league was 2022, when the Carioca side won 4-0 at the Maracanã then 2-0 in Itaquera against Vítor Pereira's team.

The latest defeat also nudged Fluminense ahead in the all-time series. Across 127 meetings since 1933, Corinthians have 45 wins, 36 draws and 46 losses, an overall success rate of 44.9%.

Corinthians are on six successive league defeats, equalling an unwanted run last seen in 2006.

There is now a break for the September FIFA window, so training only. The side return on seven October away to Internacional at Beira-Rio in the 29th round.
