Corinthians’ Maracanã woes continue with 2-1 loss to Flamengo | OneFootball

Corinthians fell 2-1 to Flamengo at the Maracanã on Sunday night, in round 27 of the Campeonato Brasileiro, prolonging their poor run at the venue.

According to Meu Timao, the setback underlines a delicate spell in the league. The result keeps Fernando Diniz’s side 13th on 32 points and narrows the gap to the relegation zone.

Corinthians’ last win at the stadium came on 2 November 2022 in round 35, a 2-1 success. Assistant Filipe Almeida, standing in for the suspended Vítor Pereira, oversaw the victory, with Du Queiroz and Yuri Alberto scoring.

Since then there have been five meetings at the Maracanã, all won by the hosts. Flamengo edged the 2023 clash by the narrowest margin, then claimed two victories in 2024, 2-0 in Série A and 1-0 in the first leg of the Copa do Brasil semi-finals. In 2025 the Rio side won 4-0 in the league, before this latest setback.

Across all 53 meetings between the clubs at the Estádio Jornalista Mário Filho, Corinthians have 11 wins, eight draws and 34 defeats, a 25.79% return. Their tally stands at 45 goals for and 94 against.

Attention now turns to a decisive midweek fixture. Corinthians host Estudiantes at the Neo Química Arena on Wednesday at 21:30 in the second leg of the Copa Libertadores quarter-finals.
