Corinthians' winless run in the National Futsal League goes on | OneFootball

On the night of this Monday (8), Corinthians hosted Santo André at Ginásio Wlamir Marques in a match valid for the eighth round of the Liga Nacional de Futsal (LNF) qualification stage, and ended up drawing 3-3. Alvinegro’s goals were scored by Lucas Martins, Maicon, and Renatinho. The result kept the Corinthians side in 13th place with five points — one win, two draws, and five defeats — with 11 goals scored and 20 conceded.

In addition, the club from Parque São Jorge also failed to break its negative winless streak in the national competition. The last victory came on April 3, when it beat archrival Magnus 2-0 at Parque São Jorge in the second round. Since then, there have been four defeats (Carlos Barbosa, Jaraguá, Praia Clube, and Atlântico) and two draws (Cascavel and Santo André) — eight goals scored and 13 conceded.

After the match, winger Renatinho gave an interview to Xsports and analyzed the disappointing result, stressing that the goal was to take all three points. Timão went down by two goals, equalized, fell behind again, and once more found the equalizer late in the match: “The situation we find ourselves in today in the standings does not match the Corinthians shirt, or this group. We are working extremely hard to get out of this situation. Today was a hugely important match for us to get all three points at home, against the team that is fighting with us down there in the bottom spots in the League.”

“So it really is a bad result, especially at home, and trying to turn around a bad situation. We planned for the three points, we worked for the three points, and it wasn’t enough. But now, we have to stick together and work harder and harder so we can quickly get away from the danger zone, from the bottom places in the qualification stage, and put Corinthians where it deserves to be,” he said.

After drawing with Santo André at home in the National League, Corinthians now turns its attention to another away fixture. The black-and-white team faces São Lourenço on Saturday (13) at 2 p.m. (Brasília time), at CEIM (the Municipal Early Childhood Education Center Indoor Arena), in Santa Catarina, for the ninth round of the first phase of the LNF.
