At the Maião Stadium, in the countryside of São Paulo, Corinthians was defeated by Mirassol by 2 x 1, coming from behind, this Saturday (10), for the eighth round of the Brasileirão 2025.
This was the first defeat of Timão under the command of coach Dorival Júnior, who had victories over Novorizontino (1 x 0, for the Brazil Cup) and Internacional (4 x 2, for the Brasileirão), in addition to a 1 x 1 draw with América de Cali, for the South American.
The first half started lukewarm, but ended lively.
The initial stage was marked by the penalty missed by Memphis Depay, who tried a "chip" over goalkeeper Walter and ended up generating a lot of repercussion on social media.
But, in the stoppage time of the first half, Depay took a corner, and the defender Cacá jumped higher than everyone to head firmly and open the score for Corinthians.
But, after the interval, Mirassol began to completely dominate the actions.
Just four minutes in, Reinaldo received on the goal line and crossed low for Edson Carioca, without a goalkeeper, just to push to the back of the net to level everything.
Without the power to react, Corinthians saw Mirassol grow in the match until they took the lead.
After a long ball forward, Iury Castilho shot placed, the ball deflected off Matheuzinho, covered goalkeeper Hugo Souza, and Gabriel - under the crossbar - just pushed to the back of the net.
The team from the countryside of São Paulo had the chance to extend with Negueba (30'), but the striker lost face to face with Hugo Souza.
In stoppage time, Matheus Bianqui managed to make the third for Mirassol, after Corinthians' defense messed up, but the goal was annulled by VAR for a hand touch.
With the defeat, Corinthians remained with 10 points and in the eighth position.
Mirassol reached 10 points and moved up to the tenth place in the table.
Timão returns to the field next Thursday (15), when they visit Racing Montevideo, in Uruguay, for the fifth round of the group stage of the Conmebol South American 2025.
For the Brasileirão, Corinthians will play the classic with Santos, at Neo Química Arena, on Sunday (18), for the ninth round.
Mirassol visits Internacional, at Beira-Rio, on the same day.
