After 22 games, Corinthians repeat run of draws this season | OneFootball

The goalless draw against Athletico-PR at Neo Química Arena, in the 21st round of the Brazilian Championship, ended a long run in which Corinthians had not recorded consecutive draws. The black-and-white side drew back-to-back matches again for the first time in more than four months.

Before the results against Bahia and Athletico-PR, Timão had gone 22 matches without repeating draws in consecutive rounds. During that span, the team led by Fernando Diniz recorded ten wins, seven draws, and five losses in matches across the Brazilian Championship, Copa do Brasil, and Copa Sudamericana.

The current run began at Arena Fonte Nova, when Corinthians drew 1-1 with Bahia in the 20th round of the Brasileirão. The black-and-white side’s goal was scored by Fabrizio Angileri. In the following round, the team shared the points again with a 0-0 draw against Athletico-PR in Itaquera.

The last time the club had experienced a similar streak was in March. On that occasion, Corinthians recorded three consecutive draws in the Brazilian Championship. The first came against Santos at Vila Belmiro, in a match that ended 1-1 and featured Memphis Depay as the scorer of Corinthians’ goal. After that, they drew 0-0 with Chapecoense at Arena Condá and closed the run with another 1-1 draw, this time against Flamengo at Neo Química Arena, with Yuri Alberto finding the net.

Over the course of the season, Corinthians have played 41 official matches. Their record stands at 17 wins, 14 draws, and ten losses, along with 46 goals scored and 33 conceded, which represents a 52.85% success rate.

With the draw against Athletico-PR, Timão reached 29 points and remains in ninth place in the Brazilian Championship. The team now shifts its focus to the Copa do Brasil and will face Internacional next Sunday (2) at 7:30 p.m. at Beira-Rio, in the first leg of the round of 16.
