Corinthians Women hold big edge in record against Internacional | OneFootball

Corinthians take the field on Saturday afternoon (22), at 6 p.m. (Brasília time), to face Internacional at Fazendinha in the 17th and final round of the first stage of the 2026 Brazilian Women’s Championship. In addition to the battle for the overall top spot in the competition, the Brabas defend a highly favorable record against the team from Rio Grande do Sul.

Since 2019, Corinthians and Internacional have faced each other 12 times in women’s football. The club from Parque São Jorge has won eight matches, drawn three, and suffered only one defeat. Altogether, there have been 43 goals in these meetings, with 34 scored by the Brabas and nine by the Coloradas.

The first meeting took place on March 26, 2019, at Fazendinha itself, the venue for this Saturday’s match. On that occasion, in the first stage of the Brazilian Women’s Championship, Corinthians thrashed Internacional 5-0. Since then, the teams have met again in the national tournament, the Women’s Super Cup, and the Libertadores.

Internacional’s only win in the head-to-head came in April 2023. In a Brazilian Women’s Championship clash played at Beira-Rio, the team from Rio Grande do Sul won 2-0. After that result, however, Corinthians have not lost to the opponent again.

There have been four meetings since then. Still in 2023, the Brabas knocked Internacional out in the semifinals of the Women’s Libertadores after a 1-1 draw in regular time. In 2024, Corinthians won both meetings between the teams, 4-2 in the Women’s Super Cup and 3-0 in the Brazilian Championship. Then in 2025, they delivered the biggest thrashing in the history of the matchup alongside the score recorded in the first meeting: 5-0.

Corinthians also hold the edge in the Brasileirão

Most of the meetings between the teams have come precisely in the Brazilian Women’s Championship. Of the 12 matches in the overall history, nine were in the national competition, with six Corinthians wins, two draws, and only one Internacional victory.

In the Women’s Super Cup, the black-and-white side’s dominance is absolute. The teams faced each other twice, in 2023 and 2024, and Corinthians won both. The other clash came in the 2023 Women’s Libertadores and ended in a draw.

The head-to-head also stands out because of the Brabas’ defensive performances. In half of the 12 meetings, Corinthians finished the match without conceding a goal. In addition, the team scored four or more goals against Internacional on five occasions.

Last meeting ended in a Brabas rout

Corinthians and Internacional have not faced each other since June 15, 2025. On that occasion, the teams met at Passo d’Areia Stadium in Porto Alegre for the Brazilian Women’s Championship.

Even playing away from home, Timão won 5-0, with goals from Letícia Monteiro, Tamires, Vic Albuquerque, Jaqueline, and Eudimilla. The result matched the biggest goal margin ever recorded in the matchup, which had first happened in the clubs’ first meeting, in 2019.

Before that, in March 2024, Corinthians had also come out on top with a 3-0 win at Neo Química Arena. That means the Brabas come into this Saturday’s fixture with two straight wins over the Coloradas, eight goals scored and none conceded in that span.

Three players from the current squad are among the top scorers

Among Corinthians’ top scorers in this matchup, three players still on the roster can add to their tallies this Saturday.

Vic Albuquerque is second in the ranking, with four goals in ten matches against Internacional. Jaqueline is right behind her with three goals in ten games, while Tamires has found the net twice in 11 meetings.

The leader is Jheniffer, currently no longer at the club, with five goals in nine matches. Gabi Portilho has also scored three times, while Diany, Giovanna Crivelari, Millene, and Adriana have two goals each.

Return to Fazendinha

This Saturday’s meeting will also be the third between Corinthians and Internacional held at Fazendinha. In the previous two, the record shows one black-and-white win and one draw.

It was at Parque São Jorge that the history of the matchup began, with Corinthians’ 5-0 rout in 2019. The second meeting at the stadium took place in 2022 and ended in a 1-1 draw.

Neo Química Arena is another venue where Corinthians maintain a perfect record against the Coloradas. There have been three matches and three black-and-white wins. At Beira-Rio, meanwhile, there have been three meetings, with one win for each team and one draw.

Brabas seek overall Brasileirão lead

The 13th meeting between Corinthians and Internacional will carry major importance for the rest of the season. The Brabas have already secured their place in the Brazilian Women’s Championship knockout stage, but they are still aiming to confirm first place in the opening phase.

Timão have 38 points, the same total as São Paulo, but sit top of the table thanks to a superior goal difference. If they finish the round in first place, Corinthians will have the advantage of playing the second leg at home throughout the knockout rounds.

Corinthians and Internacional take the field this Saturday (22), at 6 p.m. (Brasília time), at Fazendinha, for the 17th and final round of the first stage of the Brazilian Women’s Championship.
