Chapecoense had only two wins in the Brasileirão — against Santos and São Paulo.
And a total of zero away victories.
Then they went and stunned Corinthians right at Neo Química Arena this Sunday (6).
Timão took the lead, but ended up losing 2-1 in front of 44,588 fans in Itaquera.
It was SCCP’s fourth STRAIGHT defeat, and now the team turns its focus to the Libertadores.
Meanwhile, bottom-placed Chape can still dream after a historic result in the 26th round of the competition.
Corinthians went ahead as early as the second minute, with Matheus Bidu taking advantage of an opposing mistake.
Territorial dominance belonged to Diniz’s team.
But they failed to extend the lead against an opponent that never stopped fighting.
And Chape found the equalizer through Marcinho.
Bidon stayed after interest from Besiktas and even scored with a backheel. But there was an offside earlier in the move.
The pattern repeated itself after halftime: Corinthians had more possession and attacking volume.
But without showing any efficiency.
Chape were only waiting for “one chance.”
And they made it count in the 31st minute.
After a goal kick, Bolasie came out on top before crossing for Marcinho to score again.
Garcez had the chance to make it 3-1 before Gui Negão wasted one for Timão.
And goalkeeper Anderson came up big once again.
Corinthians fought. And the Fiel did its part.
But it was Chape who beat Corinthians away from home for the first time in history.
Before that, there had been five defeats and four draws.
Corinthians stayed on 32 points. They are 11th after their sixth negative result at home.
They will play again in the league next Sunday (13), when they visit leaders Flamengo.
But before that, they have the first leg of the Libertadores quarterfinals.
They will be in Argentina to face Estudiantes on Wednesday (9).
Chapecoense moved up to 17 points with a game in hand. They remain in 20th and last place.
They are 11 points behind Mirassol, who are 16th.
On Saturday (12), their opponent will be Internacional at Arena Condá.
