Following Brasileirão win, Corinthians stay unbeaten at Grêmio Arena | OneFootball

Corinthians visited Grêmio on Saturday afternoon (30) at the Arena do Grêmio, in a match valid for the 18th round of the 2026 Brazilian Championship, and beat the opponent 3-1. Timão’s goals were scored by defensive midfielder André Luiz (twice) and forward Kaio César. The three points lifted Alvinegro to ninth place with 24 points — six wins, six draws, and six losses — with 18 goals scored and 19 conceded.

The win also extended Corinthians’ impressive unbeaten run playing at the opponent’s stadium. Timão’s last defeat at the Arena do Grêmio came in December 2018, when they were beaten 1-0 in the final round of that year’s Brasileirão. Since then, the teams have faced each other there seven more times, with four Corinthians wins and three draws. In that span, the club from Parque São Jorge scored nine goals and conceded only two.

In addition, Corinthians also leveled the head-to-head record against Grêmio since the stadium’s inauguration in 2012. Overall, there are five wins for each side and four draws — 12 goals scored and 12 conceded. The positive result also meant Fernando Diniz’s side won away from home again in the national competition after more than three months.

Now, after facing Grêmio away from home in the Brasileirão, Corinthians enter the break period for the World Cup, which will take place between June 11 and July 19. Timão will officially return to the pitch only in the week of July 22, still with no date or time confirmed, to face Remo at Neo Química Arena in the 19th round of the Brasileirão.
