Corinthians thrashed in Bragança, suffer 'olé' and first Paulistão loss | OneFootball

In the second round of the Paulistão 2026, Corinthians lost to RB Bragantino 3-0 at the Cícero de Souza Marques Stadium on Thursday (15).

With a mixed team, Timão was dominated by Massa Bruta throughout the game.

The best chances for Corinthians in the first half came when João Pedro Tchoca's shot was saved by Cleiton and when Dieguinho shot wide.

RB Bragantino, on the other hand, had Jhon Jhon, Lucas Sasha, and Lucas Barbosa with good opportunities to open the scoring.

The first goal came when Jhon Jhon sent a tight cross into the area, Sasha attempted to deflect it, but the ball went past everyone - including goalkeeper Hugo Souza.

After the break, the hosts' dominance became more evident.

After Mosquera unleashed a powerful shot from the edge of the area, saved by Hugo Souza, Jhon Jhon received a pass from Lucas Barbosa behind the defense, dribbled in front of Cacá, and shot high to extend the lead before 10 minutes.

Corinthians had a great chance to reduce the deficit, but Yuri Alberto missed practically on the goal line and without a goalkeeper.

And RB Bragantino punished them right after. Lucas Barbosa made another great play and launched Mosquera on the left. The forward twisted past defender Cacá and finished with class to score the third.

In the final minutes, the Massa Bruta fans even taunted by shouting "olé" with each pass against Corinthians.
