Home win in Brasileirão U17 shakes up Corinthians' scoring chart | OneFootball

Corinthians took the field on Wednesday afternoon (16) to host Atlético-MG at Alfredo Schürig Stadium, Fazendinha, in a match valid for the 17th round of the 2026 Brazilian U-17 Championship qualifying stage, and beat the Minas Gerais side 2-1. The three points moved the Corinthians team up from fourth to third place with 33 points — 10 wins, three draws, and four losses — with 44 goals scored and 19 conceded.

The positive result also shook up the scoring charts for the category this season. Center forward Kayke Dallaqua, known as Tupã (2009), 17, scored his fourth goal in 11 matches this season by opening the scoring. The play happened in the 20th minute of the first half. Midfielder Léo Amistá was played through the middle and, from distance, tried a shot from outside the box that deflected off Alvinegro’s No. 9 and found the net.

It is worth remembering that the youngster recently returned to action after spending most of this year sidelined with an injury. Tupã is currently tied on the scorers’ list with winger Matheus Rocha and center back Ronaldo Henrique, both also with four goals each. Timãozinho’s top scorer this season is midfielder Lucca Caramico, with 19 goals in 25 games.

Forward Miguel Moscardo, who scored the second goal shortly after coming off the bench, reached 16 goals in 23 matches this year, further cementing himself as the second-leading scorer of the team coached by Guilherme Nascimento. His goal came in the 34th minute of the second half. After a passing move in attack, midfielder Rhyan Ladeira received the ball, drove it to the byline on the right, and crossed onto the striker’s head, who made it 2-0.

Miguel Moscardo also spoke to Corinthians TV, the club’s official channel, after the match and highlighted the importance of winning a direct clash in the standings. In the next round, Alvinegro will secure a place in the quarterfinals — among the top eight — with a simple victory. Their next opponent in the tournament will be Juventude, away from home.

“Another goal in the Brasileiro, a very important win. We needed this victory to put our qualification on the right track against Atlético, who were directly competing with us for a place among the top eight in the championship. So, it was very important, it stretched the lead and gave us the calm we needed to win the game before going on to seal the victory,” he said.

Now, after beating Atlético-MG at home in the Brazilian U-17 Championship, Corinthians turn their attention to the Paulista championship in the category. This Saturday (19), at 11 a.m. (Brasília time), at the Evandro de Paula Municipal Stadium, Ninho da Arara, in Santa Fé do Sul, in the interior of São Paulo, Alvinegro will face Santa Fé in the fifth round of the second stage of the tournament.
