Corinthians go nine games without a win, matching relegation year run | OneFootball

Corinthians were beaten 1-0 by Internacional on Sunday night at Neo Química Arena in a match valid for the 10th round of the Brazilian Championship. With the defeat, the black-and-white side extended its negative run and reached nine consecutive games without a win this season, highlighting the delicate moment the club is going through.

The winless streak includes draws against Portuguesa, Cruzeiro, Santos, Chapecoense, and Flamengo, as well as defeats to Novorizontino, Coritiba, and Fluminense. The last positive result came on February 19, when Timão beat Athletico-PR 1-0 in the second round of the Brasileirão.

The current scenario marks Corinthians’ worst spell under Dorival Júnior. The last time the club faced a similar run was in 2007, the season in which it ended up relegated to the second division. On that occasion, the team went ten straight matches without a win, recording draws against Paraná, Fluminense, São Paulo, Figueirense, Flamengo, and Athletico-PR, as well as defeats to Palmeiras, Sport, Internacional, and Náutico.

With Sunday’s defeat, Corinthians also dropped two places in the table and ended the round in 16th place with ten points won — just two more than Chapecoense, the first team inside the relegation zone, which still has a game in hand.

Timão’s next challenge comes this Thursday. Without a permanent head coach following Dorival Júnior’s dismissal, the team travels to face Argentina’s Platense at Estádio Coliseo de Victoria at 9:30 p.m. in the opening round of the Copa Libertadores group stage.
