Corinthians’ standing after five rounds of the Brasileirão | OneFootball

On the evening of last Wednesday (11), Corinthians was defeated by Coritiba at the Neo Química Arena, with a score of 2-0, in a match valid for the fifth round of the 2026 Brazilian Championship. The result caused the Alvinegro to drop from third to tenth place in the national competition with seven points – two wins, one draw, and two losses – five goals scored and five conceded.

The current position leaves the club out of the qualifying zone for the 2027 Conmebol Libertadores and places them in the South American zone. Had they beaten Coritiba, the club from Parque São Jorge could have remained in third place in the tournament, potentially being just three points behind São Paulo – the current leader of the competition with 13 points, as they defeated Chapecoense at home, 2-0, this Thursday (12).

The Alvinegro has the same points as Flamengo (sixth), Coritiba (seventh), Athletico-PR (eighth), and Grêmio (ninth), losing only by tiebreaker criteria – goal difference. However, the fifth round has not yet been fully completed. This is because the match between Athletico-PR and Botafogo was postponed to the 29th, as the Rio team was involved in the preliminary phase of the 2026 Libertadores.

The top five are: São Paulo (13 points), Palmeiras (10 points), Fluminense (10 points), Bahia (eight points), and Red Bull Bragantino (eight points). Currently, the Z4 is occupied by: Botafogo (three points), Remo (three points), Internacional (two points), and Cruzeiro (two points). The Alvinegro is now preparing for the next match in the national competition.

The club from Parque São Jorge will visit Santos FC next Sunday (15) at 4 pm (Brasília time) at Vila Belmiro, for the sixth round of the Brazilian Championship.
