Corinthians eye season-best unbeaten futsal run against Minas | OneFootball

Corinthians return to the court on Thursday night (30) at 8 p.m. (Brasília time) to face Minas in the third round of the Talentos LNF group stage, the National Under-20 Futsal League. Riding a strong run this season, Timão will try to extend their longest unbeaten streak of 2026.

Daniel Magalhães’ team heads into the match after beating São José 3-2 on Wednesday night (29) at the Amário Vieira da Costa Gymnasium in Umuarama, Paraná. Kaio Lopes scored twice, and Kauã added the other goal in the black-and-white team’s victory.

The result kept Corinthians with a 100% record in the competition. In their opener, played on Monday (27), Timão had also beaten São José by the same 3-2 scoreline. Now, in addition to staying unbeaten in the Talentos LNF, the team is looking to build on the positive run put together in recent weeks, also taking into account matches in the National Futsal League and the Campeonato Paulista.

Corinthians are currently on a five-match unbeaten run. The streak began with a 3-1 win over Minas in the National League, continued with a 2-2 draw against São José, also in the LNF, a 6-5 victory over AABB in the Campeonato Paulista, and a 1-1 draw with Marreco in the most recent round of the senior national competition. The two wins over São José in the Talentos LNF extended the unbeaten run to five matches.

Before this streak, Corinthians’ best run of the season had been three matches unbeaten, recorded between May and June. The current stretch marks the team’s best moment since the end of 2025. In the closing stages of last season, Timão went four games unbeaten with two wins over Ferroviária Pinda and two more over Campo Mourão, across the Campeonato Paulista and the National League.

In addition to their good form on the court, the draw against Marreco in the senior National League mathematically guaranteed Corinthians’ place in the top tier of the competition for next season, ruling out any possibility of relegation to LNF Silver.

The club has been going through a rebuilding process since the start of 2026. Amid the financial situation faced by Corinthians, the futsal department reduced investment and began relying on a squad with greater participation from players developed in the youth academy.

After facing Minas, Corinthians will wrap up their participation in the opening stage of the Talentos LNF this Friday (31) at 8 p.m. against Atlântico Erechim, once again in Umuarama. The matches are broadcast live by LNF TV, the official YouTube channel of the National Futsal League.
