Corinthians win back-to-back matches for first time in three months | OneFootball

With a goal from forward Gui Negão, Corinthians defeated Athletico-PR on the night of last Wednesday, August 27, with a score of 1 x 0, at Ligga Arena in Curitiba, in the first leg of the quarter-finals of the Copa do Brasil. With the partial advantage, the Alvinegro team only needs a draw in the return match to advance to the semi-finals.

Furthermore, Corinthians has started a winning streak – two victories (against Vasco and Athletico-PR) – which hadn't happened since May, between the 15th and 21st of that month, when they won three consecutive matches – all by 1 x 0 – against Racing-URU (away), Santos (home), and Novorizontino (home). These matches were part of the Conmebol Sudamericana, Brasileirão, and Copa do Brasil, respectively.

At that time, Corinthians was in its early days under the command of coach Dorival Júnior, who was officially announced on April 28 and made his debut two days later. The club from Parque São Jorge also achieved its second consecutive away victory in the 2025 season, something that last happened between the end of January and the beginning of February this year.

On that occasion, on January 29 and February 3, the club from Parque São Jorge defeated Ponte Preta and Novorizontino, both away and during the group stage of the 2025 Paulista Championship, by 1 x 0. Corinthians was managed by Ramón and Emiliano Díaz at the time, who would go on to win the state championship a little over two months later, against Palmeiras, in Itaquera, ending a six-year title drought for the team.

Corinthians returns to the field this Sunday, August 31, at 6:30 PM (Brasília time), to face Palmeiras at the Neo Química Arena, for the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship. Currently, the Alvinegro team is in 11th place with 25 points (six wins, seven draws, and eight losses – 22 goals scored and 27 conceded).
