Corinthians extend unbeaten run, enjoy best spell since late 2024 | OneFootball

Corinthians beat Peñarol 2-0 on Thursday night (30) at Neo Química Arena, in the third round of the Copa Libertadores group stage, and reached an important milestone this season. With the result, the team recorded its seventh consecutive match without defeat.

The positive run coincides with the start of Fernando Diniz’s tenure as head coach. Since the manager arrived, the team has beaten Peñarol, Vasco, Barra, Independiente Santa Fe, and Platense, in addition to drawing with Palmeiras and Vitória in the Brazilian Championship.

This marks the club’s best unbeaten run since the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025, when Corinthians put together a string of positive results across the Brasileirão and the Campeonato Paulista.

Another noteworthy point is the team’s defensive performance. Corinthians once again left the pitch without conceding and reached seven straight matches without allowing a goal. The number matches notable marks in the club’s history, recorded in periods such as 1978 and 2014.

In the Libertadores, Corinthians has maintained a perfect campaign. With three wins in three matches, the team leads Group E with nine points. Platense is in second place with six, while Peñarol and Independiente Santa Fe have only one point each.

With this strong run in the continental competition, the black-and-white squad now turns its focus to the Brazilian Championship. The next match will be this Sunday (4) at 8:30 p.m. (Brasília time), away from home against Mirassol, in the 14th round of the national competition.
