Corinthians under-20s miss out on season's longest winning run | OneFootball

Throughout the afternoon this Friday (21), Corinthians hosted Juventus-SP at Estádio Gabriel Marques da Silva, in Santana de Parnaíba, in the countryside of São Paulo, for their 11th match of the first phase of the 2026 Paulista Under-20 Championship, and lost 2-1 after conceding a comeback. Timãozinho’s goal was scored by forward Nicolas Araújo just 55 seconds into the match.

Even with the setback, with two matches remaining, Alvinegro still sits atop Group 1 with 28 points – nine wins, one draw, and one loss – with 25 goals scored and three conceded. Santos are second with 26 points. In addition, the defeat meant Timãozinho failed to reach its longest winning streak of the season (six). Before losing to the team from Mooca, the last time the club from Parque São Jorge had been beaten in the Under-20 category was on July 16, when they lost 3-1 to Palmeiras in the second leg of the Brasileirão quarterfinals in the category.

The last time the Sons of Terrão recorded six straight wins in the category was in 2023, when, between June and July of that year, they beat ECUS (12-1), União Mogi (5-0), São Caetano (1-0), Inter de Limeira (1-0), and Grêmio twice, both by a score of 2-1. Corinthians’ longest positive runs in the Under-20 category this season came in June and between July and August.

In the first run, William Batista’s side beat Mirassol (A – 1-0), Avaí (H – 6-2), Portuguesa Santista (A – 2-0), Vitória (H – 2-1), and Cruzeiro (A – 2-1) in the Paulista Championship and the Brasileirão. In the second, meanwhile, they won the following consecutive matches, all in the state championship: Ponte Preta (H – 7-1), Itapirense (H – 4-0), União Suzano (A – 1-0), Ferroviária (H – 4-0), and Jabaquara (A – 2-0).

After facing Juventus-SP at Parque São Jorge in the Paulista Championship, Corinthians will remain focused on the state competition. Next Friday, September 4, at 3 p.m., Timãozinho will face São Bento away from home in its 12th match of the state tournament.
