Corinthians win away again in the Brasileirão after three months | OneFootball

Corinthians took the field this Saturday for their final match before the World Cup break. Fernando Diniz’s team faced Grêmio at the Arena do Grêmio in Porto Alegre, in the 18th round of the Brazilian Championship, and came away with a 3-1 victory, with two goals from André (twice) and one from Kaio César. With the result, Timão ended a poor run in the competition.

Until this Saturday’s clash, Corinthians had not won away from home in the Brazilian Championship for more than three months. Their last victory had come against Athletico-PR at Arena da Baixada on February 19, still in the second round of the national tournament, when Timão won 1-0 with a goal from Rodrigo Garro. That was also the team’s only away win in the competition in 2026 until the match against the side from Rio Grande do Sul.

Since then, the São Paulo black-and-white side had played seven more away matches in the Brasileirão, recording four draws and three defeats, with five goals scored and ten conceded. The opponents during this stretch were Cruzeiro, Santos, Chapecoense, Fluminense, Vitória, Mirassol, and Botafogo.

The positive result in the South came at a very important moment for Timão. In their final match before the World Cup break, Fernando Diniz’s team jumped to 9th place after reaching 24 points. However, Corinthians could drop to 11th depending on the results of other matches in the round.

After this Saturday’s clash in Rio Grande do Sul, Corinthians will only return to the field after the World Cup. On July 22, at a time yet to be confirmed, Timão will host Remo at Neo Química Arena in the 19th round of the Brasileirão, with kickoff still to be defined.
