Corinthians U17 back to winning ways, avoid worst run since 2018 | OneFootball

Corinthians hosted Atlético-MG on Wednesday afternoon (16) at Estádio Alfredo Schürig, Fazendinha, in a match valid for the 17th round of the 2026 Brazilian Under-17 Championship qualifying stage, and beat their opponent 2-1. Timãozinho’s goals were scored by forwards Kayke Dallaqua ‘Tupã’ and Miguel Moscardo. With the result, the Corinthians side moved up from fourth to third place with 33 points — 10 wins, three draws, and four defeats — with 44 goals scored and 19 conceded.

In addition to the three points, the club from Parque São Jorge ended a run of three matches without a win this season. Previously, their last victory had come on September 2, a 4-1 win over Athletico-PR at CT do Caju in the 14th round of the national competition in the age group. Since then, Alvinegro had been beaten by São José 1-0 away from home in the second phase of the Paulista, as well as suffering a 3-2 defeat to RB Bragantino at Fazendinha and drawing 2-2 with Fortaleza away from home in rounds 15 and 16 of the Brasileirão.

Had they failed to win, the club from Parque São Jorge would have matched its worst run in the category since 2018. That season, between October and November, Timãozinho lost to Mirassol (H – 0-1), Fluminense (H – 2-4), and Fluminense (A – 3-0), in addition to a goalless home draw against São Paulo. Those matches were part of the Paulista Championship and the Under-17 Copa do Brasil.

After beating Atlético-MG at home in the Brazilian Under-17 Championship, Corinthians now turns its attention to the Paulista in the age group. This Saturday (19), at 11 a.m. (Brasília time), at Estádio Municipal Evandro de Paula, Ninho da Arara, in Santa Fé do Sul, in the interior of São Paulo, Alvinegro will face Santa Fé in the fifth round of the second phase of the tournament.

At the moment, Timão leads Group 20 with seven points — two wins, one draw, and one defeat — with nine goals scored and four conceded. Right behind are: São José (6), Desportivo Brasil (5), and Santa Fé (4).
