Fernando Diniz’s Copa do Brasil hoodoo extended despite Corinthians win over Internacional | OneFootball

Corinthians went out of the Copa do Brasil despite beating Internacional 2-1, extending Fernando Diniz’s run of never overturning a first-leg deficit in the competition to five ties. In Meu Timao’s reporting, the focus fell on Diniz’s personal record in such ties.

The holders won on Thursday at Neo Química Arena through Gustavo Henrique and Pedro Raul, but the 2-0 defeat in the first leg meant a last 16 exit.

The sequence began in 2010 with Votoraty, beaten 1-0 by Grêmio in the first leg of the second phase, then eliminated after a 3-0 defeat in the return.

In 2018 with Athletico-PR, his side lost 2-1 to Cruzeiro in the last 16, and he was dismissed before the return, which finished 1-1, confirming Cruzeiro’s progress.

In 2020 with São Paulo, the semi-final brought a 1-0 first-leg defeat to Grêmio in Porto Alegre, followed by a 0-0 draw at Morumbi that sealed elimination.

In 2021 at Santos, Athletico-PR won the first leg 1-0 at the Arena da Baixada, Diniz was dismissed before the return, which finished 1-0 again to confirm another elimination.
