Corinthians record their best away run in Copa do Brasil history | OneFootball

Corinthians achieved an unprecedented milestone by beating Barra 1-0 last Tuesday in a match valid for the Copa do Brasil. With the result, the club reached the longest away winning streak in the competition’s history.

Timão now has six consecutive away wins in the tournament, a run that began in May 2025. At the time, still under the management of Dorival Júnior, the team started its title-winning campaign by defeating Novorizontino 1-0.

The positive run continued in the following rounds. In the round of 16, Corinthians beat Palmeiras 2-0. Then, in the quarterfinals, they defeated Athletico Paranaense 1-0. The same scoreline was repeated in the semifinal against Cruzeiro. In the final, they secured the title by beating Vasco da Gama 2-1 at the Maracanã.

In addition to the winning streak, the away performance also highlights the team’s solidity: the last away defeat in the competition came in October 2024. On that occasion, Corinthians faced Flamengo in the semifinal, drawing the first leg and deciding the place at home.

Before that, the club’s best record away from home had been set in 2001. In that year’s campaign, Corinthians piled up wins over Joinville, Goiânia, Flamengo-PI, Athletico Paranaense, and Ponte Preta before drawing with Grêmio and finishing as runners-up after a defeat in the final.

With the recent win, Corinthians can even draw the second leg in Itaquera to secure a place in the round of 16. The teams will meet again on May 14 at 7:30 p.m.

The team managed by Fernando Diniz returns to the field next Sunday, when it hosts Vasco da Gama at 4 p.m. in the Brazilian Championship. The match is scheduled for Neo Química Arena, although it still depends on a decision regarding the home-game ban imposed by the STJD.
