Corinthians faced Grêmio away from home last Monday (2nd) in the third round of the first phase of the Brazilian Under-20 Championship and won 3 x 1. Luizinho, Luiz Gustavo Bahia, and Nicollas scored the goals for Timãozinho.

With the three points, the Sons of Terrão climbed to second place in the tournament with seven points, matching the best start of the 2023 edition of the national competition, in which they ended up being eliminated in the semifinals.

In 2026, Corinthians defeated América-MG 4 x 0 at Fazendinha in the first-round match. Next, in the second match, they drew 2 x 2 with Bahia at CT Evaristo de Macedo. Finally, as mentioned, they overcame Grêmio in the south of the country – nine goals scored and three conceded.

In the 2023 season, the Sons of Terrão beat Flamengo at home, 4 x 0, at Canindé. Later, they drew with Internacional, 2 x 2, away from home. Then, they overcame RB Bragantino 4 x 1 in the third round, again at Canindé.

In 2024 and 2025, years in which the team struggled in the lower positions of the tournament, they accumulated three and two points, respectively. On both occasions, they did not even advance to the knockout stage of the national tournament.

Corinthians will now return to the field in the Under-20 category only on April 1st, when they will face Fortaleza at Parque São Jorge in the fifth round of the Brasileirão in the category. The CBF has not yet set the match time.
