On the afternoon of last Sunday (26), Corinthians visited São Paulo at CT de Cotia for the eighth round of the first phase of the Brazilian Under-20 Championship and won 1-0. With the result, Timãozinho moved up from sixth to fourth place in the national competition with 15 points — four wins, three draws, and one loss — with 13 goals scored and six conceded.

The goal for the Sons of Terrão was scored by forward Gustavo Henrique, who made his debut in the Corinthians shirt and already entered the team’s scoring rankings in 2026, joining Gui Amorim, Gui Pires, Lorenzo, Iago Machado, Nicollas, and own goals — all with one goal each. The goal came in the 33rd minute of the second half.

Corinthians pressed São Paulo’s buildup, won back possession, and the ball fell to defensive midfielder Pedro Thomas. The midfielder chipped it over goalkeeper Luciano, and it ended up hitting the crossbar and bouncing back into the middle of the box, where Gustavo Corrêa was waiting and, showing good opportunism, scored for the club from Parque São Jorge.

Gustavo Corrêa signed a contract with Corinthians until March 2028, having previously played for Red Bull Bragantino’s Under-17 team, as well as having had a spell at Austria’s Red Bull Salzburg and América-MG. In fact, for the Minas Gerais side, he scored one goal in five matches in the 2026 Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior.

Timãozinho now returns to the pitch this Wednesday (29) at 3 p.m. (Brasília time), at Alfredo Schürig Stadium, Fazendinha, to face Athletico-PR in the ninth round of the first phase of the Brazilian Under-20 Championship.
