The goalless draw between Corinthians and Vitória, played on Saturday night (18) at Barradão, was marked by a negative statistic in the 2026 Brazilian Championship. According to a survey by GE, the match recorded the lowest number of shots on target in the competition so far.
Over the 90 minutes, only one shot was on target. The lone attempt came late in the match, in the 41st minute of the second half, when Vitória defensive midfielder Zé Vitor tried his luck from outside the box and forced goalkeeper Hugo Souza into a save.

The teams’ low attacking output contrasted with other matches in this season’s Brasileirão. Still according to data from Gato Mestre, from ge, matches such as Internacional 0-1 Bahia, in the sixth round, and São Paulo 0-1 Palmeiras, in the eighth, had three shots on target each, which until then were the lowest totals before the clash in Salvador.
The match, valid for the 12th round, also reflected the teams’ current moment in the competition, with difficulties in attacking buildup and few clear chances throughout the game.
After the draw, Corinthians now turn their attention to the Copa do Brasil. The team will be back in action this Tuesday (22) at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), when they face Barra in Santa Catarina in the first leg of the competition’s third round.
