New signing debuts as Corinthians lose to Praia Clube at Supercopa | OneFootball

Corinthians was defeated by Praia Clube 4-2 last Friday night at the Perinão Gymnasium, in a match valid for the second round of the Gramado Futsal Super Cup. Despite the setback, the match held special significance for winger Kevin William, who made his debut wearing the club's black and white jersey.

The player started the match on the bench and was brought into play only in the final stage, with about 13 minutes remaining. At that moment, the score was tied at 2-2 between the two teams.

Shortly after entering the court, Kevin got involved in a ball dispute with Pesk and ended up on the losing side of the play. The athlete felt pain in his right shoulder and had to leave the court temporarily to receive medical attention, which caused initial concern, as it was his first game defending Corinthians.

Despite the scare, the problem apparently wasn't serious. The winger managed to return to the match in the final minutes, when Corinthians was already trailing 3-2. Even so, he remained on the court for a short time and was eventually substituted by Renatinho in the decisive moments of the match.

Left-footed, Kevin William is the second reinforcement signed by Corinthians for the season. The player was signed from Ferroviária Pinda, a team from the interior of São Paulo that faced Timão in the semifinals of the 2025 São Paulo Championship.

Like pivot Fabinho, the club's first signing for 2026, Kevin had been training at Parque São Jorge since the beginning of the year and participated in pre-season activities alongside the rest of the squad.

With the defeat to Praia Clube, Corinthians ended its participation in the first phase of the Gramado Super Cup with only one point. Now, the team awaits the classification results to know if they will continue in the competition.

According to the competition's regulations, the top seven teams advance directly to the quarter-finals, while the teams finishing in eighth and ninth positions compete in a playoff.

This playoff is scheduled for March 8, while the quarter-final matches of the Gramado Futsal Super Cup will take place the following day. Corinthians awaits official confirmation from the tournament organization to learn about their next commitment in the competition.
