Corinthians Under-20s start another unbeaten run this season | OneFootball

Corinthians faced XV de Jaú on the afternoon of this Friday (25) at Alfredo Schürig Stadium, Fazendinha, in the second leg of the second round of the 2026 Paulista Under-20 Championship, and defeated the team from the state’s interior 2-0. Timãozinho’s goals were scored by midfielder Gui Amorim and forward Nicolas Araújo. With the result, Alvinegro advanced to the round of 16 by winning 5-2 on aggregate.

In addition to the positive result, the match extended William Batista’s team’s unbeaten run this season to four games, with three wins (against América-SP and XV de Jaú twice) and one draw (against São Bento) during that stretch. Their last defeat came just over a month ago, on August 21, when Timãozinho was beaten 2-1 by Juventus-SP in Santana de Parnaíba in the 11th round of the first stage of the state tournament—their only loss in the competition.

This is the third-longest unbeaten stretch for the Filhos do Terrão in 2026. This year, the team also went four games without losing in April, with two wins (over Criciúma and São Paulo) and two draws (against Botafogo and Santos)—all in the Brazilian Under-20 Championship. Between July and August, they put together a five-game unbeaten streak, winning every match: Ponte Preta, Itapirense, União Suzano, Ferroviária, and Jabaquara. Those matches were part of the Paulista Under-20 Championship.

Meanwhile, Corinthians Under-20’s longest unbeaten run since the start of the season came between May and June, with eight games without a loss. In that span, there were five wins (over Mirassol, Avaí, Portuguesa, Vitória, and Cruzeiro), plus three draws (against Red Bull Bragantino, Flamengo, and Santos). Those matches were played in the Paulista Championship and the Brazilian Championship. In the national tournament, Timão ended up being eliminated in the quarterfinals after losing to Palmeiras 4-1 on aggregate over two legs. In the first stage, they qualified with the eighth-best campaign.

Now, after eliminating XV de Jaú, Corinthians await the definition of their opponent in the round of 16 of the Paulista Under-20 Championship. The two matches in this stage are expected to take place in the first two weeks of October. The São Paulo Football Federation (FPF) is expected to announce the details, such as dates and kickoff times, soon.

Paulista Under-20 campaign

The Filhos do Terrão are looking to win the tournament in this age group for the first time since 2015. Last year, they were knocked out in the round of 16 after being eliminated by Santos—a 3-1 comeback defeat at Vila Belmiro. In the first stage of this year’s state tournament, Corinthians finished second in Group 1 with 32 points, totaling 10 wins, two draws, and one loss, with 29 goals scored and only three conceded. Santos finished top of the group with the same points total and record, but had the edge on goal difference (27 to 26).

In the overall standings, meanwhile, Alvinegro had the seventh-best campaign, behind Red Bull Bragantino (39), Palmeiras (35), Ibrachina (34), Guarani (34), São Paulo (34), and Santos (32). The club from Parque São Jorge ended the first stage of the state tournament with a 4-0 home thrashing of América-SP last Saturday, September 12. In the second round, as mentioned, they got past XV de Jaú.
