At Mineirão, Cruzeiro and Corinthians drew 1-1 this Wednesday (25th), in the fourth round of the Brasileirão 2026.

With just over 100 days left for the World Cup, Carlo Ancelotti, coach of the Brasileirão National Team, was at the stadium to observe possible candidates for a spot in the group of 26 called up.

⚽ The Game

Before 10 minutes of play, the Raposa started the move on the right side up to the edge of the area, where Matheus Pereira exchanged passes with Kaio Jorge and fired a left-footed shot to open the scoring.

Being the better team on the field, before the clock hit 20 minutes, Cruzeiro troubled goalkeeper Hugo Souza with a powerful shot from Lucas Romero and a cross finish from Christian.

Still in the first half, Kaio Jorge found the back of the net for the alvinegra, but the play was annulled after VAR indicated the striker was offside.

With a mixed team, the best chance for Timão was a cross finish by Vitinho, right after the goal from the Minas team, but Cássio saved it without difficulty.

After the break, the Raposa had a chance to extend the lead with a shot from outside the area by Matheus Pereira, but the shot lacked curve.

However, after a corner taken by Garro, João Pedro rose above everyone and headed the ball to level the score.

The Cruzeiro fans, once again, booed Tite and called for the coach's departure.


🚦 Standings

With the result, Corinthians reached seven points and entered the G-4 to occupy third place, while Cruzeiro - still without a win in the Brasileirão - got two points and moved up from the bottom to 18th place.

Timão returns to the field next Saturday (28th), when they visit Novorizontino for the semifinals of the Paulistão.

The Raposa, on the other hand, will host Pouso Alegre for the second leg of the semifinals of the Campeonato Mineiro.

In the Brasileirão, the teams will only play again on March 11th.
