The bench options were: Thiago Amaral, Kevin Fernando, Felipe Aguirra, Rafael Luiz, Lucca Caramico, Rhyan Ladeira, Piracicaba, Gabriel Cordeiro, and Jerry Vinicius. The club from Parque São Jorge went into halftime leading 2-0. Thiago Coelho and Brenno Augusto scored in the 34th and 38th minutes of the first half. In the second half, Rhyan Ladeira (2’), Luan Banhado (17’), Jerry Vinicius (21’ and 33’), and Gabriel Cordeiro (30’) rounded out the scoring.

The three points moved the Sons of Terrão up to 12 points, putting them in second place in Group 12 — with 21 goals scored and four conceded, behind only Ibrachina, which has 15 points. Speaking to Corinthians’ social media, midfielder Gustavo Sales commented on the positive result this morning: “Very happy with the win, with the three points. Since we hadn’t won in the last round of the Paulista and had drawn in the Brasileiro, it was good to get back to winning to build confidence, to play against Grêmio on Tuesday with confidence. It’s important to train giving my all even when I’m not a starter so that when I get the opportunity, I can make the most of it in the best way possible.”

Now, Timãozinho will return to the pitch next Tuesday (9), at 3 p.m. (Brasília time), to host Grêmio at Estádio Alfredo Schürig, Fazendinha, for the third round of the 2026 Brazilian Under-17 Championship qualifying stage. So far, Alvinegro has collected four points in the first two rounds.

A little earlier, at the same venue, the Under-15 side beat the same opponent 1-0, with a goal by forward Pedrito near the end of the first half. The result allowed the Sons of Terrão to maintain a perfect record — five wins in five matches; 25 goals scored and two conceded. Ibrachina is right behind with 10 points.

Head coach Eduardo Vergueiro chose the following lineup to begin the match: Arthur Trelha; Carrieri (Paulo Henrique), Murilo, Duarte (Carioca), and Kevin (Leo Abachioni); Marcos Paulo, Henrique (Juan Felipe), and João Miguel (Rafa Japa); Bryan (Gui Brasil), Pedrito, and Guga Bom (Igor Macedo).

The substitutes were: Renan, Paulo Henrique, Léo Toledo, Carioca, Leo Abachioni, Gui Brasil, Juan Felipe, Rafa Japa, and Igor Macedo. Timãozinho will only return to action next Saturday, June 13, at 9 a.m. (Brasília time), when they visit São Caetano at Estádio Anacleto Campanella for the sixth round of the state championship qualifying stage.

After the final whistle, Corinthians goalscorer Pedrito spoke to the club’s youth academy social media — the Filhos do Terrão page — and celebrated the win: “I think the game was very good despite the difficulties of the pitch and the small field. I think the game was very good, the team was very organized, and now we keep working for the next matches. Happy for the goal, for helping my team, and that’s it. Vai Corinthians!”
