Corinthians string together first winning streak in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

After 30 rounds of ups and downs, Corinthians finally broke an annoying taboo in the Brazilian Championship. On the afternoon of last Saturday, Timão defeated Vitória 1-0 at Barradão in Salvador, achieving their second consecutive victory in the competition — something unprecedented in this edition of the tournament. The solitary goal was scored by Charles.

The victory at Barradão comes right after the 1-0 triumph over Atlético Mineiro in Itaquera, ending a cycle of inconsistency that had been bothering the team. Until then, each Corinthians victory in the championship was followed by a draw or loss — a sequence that exposed the team's difficulty in maintaining consistency. Charles himself, the scorer of the saving goal, admitted that the group internally pushed themselves to react and turn good performances into results.

Timão's Situation

The away victory brought Corinthians to 39 points and moved them up to ninth place, distancing themselves from the relegation zone and entering, albeit temporarily, the upper part of the table. Vitória, on the other hand, remained at 31 points and stayed in 17th place, within the Z4.

The tight score reflected a balanced duel, but Corinthians were more efficient in the decisive moments. Even with one player less — after Breno Bidon's expulsion in the second half — Dorival Júnior's team showed maturity and knew how to take advantage of one of the few clear chances they had. At 41 minutes of the final stage, after a corner from Garro and a cross from Memphis Depay, Charles appeared free in the area to head firmly and score the winning goal.

Next Match

The next challenge will be against Grêmio on November 2, at the Neo Química Arena. Dorival already knows he will have important absences: Martínez and Raniele are suspended due to the third yellow card, and Breno Bidon will serve a suspension for the red card.
