Corinthians top-scorer race after 1-1 Pato draw in LNF play-offs | OneFootball

Corinthians drew 1-1 with Pato in the LNF play-off first leg at Ginásio Wlamir Marques on Monday night, a result that reshaped the club's scoring chart this season.

Rick netted on 17 minutes of the first half, finishing after Igor Bredof delivered a kick-in from the right into the area. According to Meu Timao, the outcome has tightened the chase behind leading scorer Maicon.

Maicon leads on 15 this year. Rick is now within one of Fabinho in second place. Lucas Martins has nine, with Vinicius Paiva on seven and Renatinho on five.

A group on four includes Kevin William, who left in May, Fellype Bancatelli, Kaio Lopes, Caio Barros and Igor Bredof. Da Bonja and Vandinho have two. Patrick, Vinicius Dias, Papagaio and Lucas Oliveira have one each.

Across 40 matches in 2026, Corinthians have 19 wins, 11 draws and 10 defeats, scoring 94 at 2.35 per game and conceding 62 at 1.55.

The second leg is on Saturday, 3 October, at 17:00 at the Arena Cláudio Petrycoski in Pato Branco. Corinthians must win, a draw takes it to extra time, when Pato play for the draw thanks to a better first-phase record. Any defeat in regulation or extra time would eliminate Corinthians.
