Corinthians set Copa do Brasil records, 2025 run joins elite list | OneFootball

On Wednesday night, 10th, Corinthians faced Athletico-PR, at Neo Química Arena, for the return match of the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil and won by a score of 2 x 0. The goals of the Alvinegro were scored by midfielder Rodrigo Garro and striker Gui Negão. With the result, the Parque São Jorge club advances to the semifinal - the fourth in a row - after building an aggregate score of 3 x 0.

In addition to resulting in the Corinthians qualification, the result obtained in Itaquera helped the Alvinegro to consolidate two club records in their participation in the Copa do Brasil. This is because the People's Team reached, on this Wednesday, the sixth consecutive victory in the tournament and 688 minutes without suffering any goal. In both cases, these are unprecedented numbers for Corinthians.

The zero-goal time had been pointed out at the end of August, after the first victory over Athletico-PR, by the profile Corinthians Statistics on X (former Twitter), which this Wednesday updated the data, complementing with the information that, in the entire history of the Copa do Brasil, only three teams stayed longer without suffering goals in the tournament: Flamengo (748 minutes between 2006 and 2009), Criciúma (711 minutes in 1991) and again Flamengo (708 minutes in 2004).

As for the winning streak, which had also been pointed out by the editorial team when broken in the first leg, Timão also entered a select list, according to a survey conducted by Central do Timão. This is because, in the entire history of the Copa do Brasil, only nine other times has a team won the first six games played in any edition of the tournament, with the record being eight wins in the first eight games, led by Grêmio in 2012.

Next comes Coritiba in 2011, which won its first seven commitments in the tournament. And finally, seven other occasions where teams won their first six matches: Flamengo in 1995, Palmeiras in 1996, Atlético-MG in 2003, Sport in 2003, Cruzeiro in 2013, Flamengo in 2013 and Flamengo in 2021. Corinthians' feat this season, therefore, has not happened for five years.

However, only the most recent of these nine campaigns mentioned above shares with Corinthians the fact that no goal was suffered in the six victories. On that occasion, Flamengo went through Coritiba, ABC-RN and Grêmio, winning twice each without being scored against, only for the streak to be broken after a 2 x 2 draw in the first leg against Athletico-PR. The Paraná club would still win the return by 3 x 0 to eliminate the Flamengo team and would, in the end, be the tournament champion in 2021.

It is worth remembering that Corinthians reached the semifinal of the Copa do Brasil 2025 after overcoming Novorizontino by 1 x 0 away and another 1 x 0 at home in the third round, Palmeiras by 1 x 0 at home and 2 x 0 away in the round of 16 and, finally, Athletico-PR by 1 x 0 away and 2 x 0 at home in the quarterfinals.
