Corinthians eye nearly two-year away unbeaten run in Copa do Brasil | OneFootball

Corinthians take the field this Sunday against Internacional at Beira-Rio, looking to extend an impressive run in the Copa do Brasil. The black-and-white side has not lost an away match in the competition since October 2024, when they were beaten 1-0 by Flamengo at the Maracanã in the first leg of the semifinals. In the return leg, played at Neo Química Arena, a goalless draw confirmed Corinthians’ elimination.

After that setback, Timão put together an unbeaten run away from home in the national tournament. During the campaign that ended with their fourth title, the club won every away fixture, beating Novorizontino, Palmeiras, Athletico-PR, Cruzeiro, and Vasco da Gama. The last of those victories came in the final itself, played at the Maracanã.

The strong run has also continued this season. In the fifth round of the 2026 Copa do Brasil, Corinthians beat Barra 1-0 at Ressacada, a result they repeated in the second leg to secure qualification for the round of 16.

Despite the recent positive record in the competition, the mission in Porto Alegre brings another challenge. The club from Parque São Jorge is trying to end a long winless streak against Internacional at Beira-Rio, where they have not won since 2016. Since then, there have been eight meetings at the stadium, with seven draws and one defeat.

The first leg of the round of 16 takes place this Sunday at 7:30 p.m. in the capital of Rio Grande do Sul. The decisive match will be played on August 6 at 8 p.m. at Neo Química Arena.
