Their previous Copa do Brasil exit on home turf came in the 2024 semi-final, a 0-0 draw with Flamengo when they went out despite a man advantage.

A little over a year ago, they beat Barcelona de Guayaquil 2-0 yet lost 3-2 on aggregate in the 2025 Libertadores preliminary phase.

In total, the Neo Química Arena has witnessed four Paulista eliminations, five in the Libertadores and now five in the Copa do Brasil.

Corinthians returned to action on Sunday against Red Bull Bragantino in the 22nd round of the Brasileiro, with kick-off at 18:30 at the Estádio Municipal de Bragança Paulista.
