Corinthians U17 enjoy a run not seen for two years | OneFootball

Corinthians hosted Internacional on the afternoon of last Tuesday (21) at Estádio Alfredo Schürig, Fazendinha, in Parque São Jorge, in a match valid for the ninth round of the 2026 Brazilian Under-17 Championship, and beat the team from Rio Grande do Sul 4-0. Goals scored by Lucca Caramico, Léo Rodrigues, Rafael Guarnieri, and Gustavo Sales put Timãozinho provisionally at the top of the national competition with 19 points — six wins, one draw, and two losses — with 27 goals scored and seven conceded.

In addition to the win, the Sons of Terrão reached their fifth straight victory of the season, something that had not happened since June 2024, in other words, just over two years ago. That year, the team, then coached by Raphael Laruccia, beat Portuguesa 8-0 on June 1, AD Centro Olímpico 4-0 on the 8th, XV de Piracicaba 3-0 on June 16, Votuporanguense 3-0 on the 23rd and, six days later, defeated Comercial do Tietê 3-1. All of the matches were part of the São Paulo state championship for the category.

This season, the positive run began on the 4th with a 4-2 win over Juventus-SP at Fazendinha in the state championship. Next, they beat Palmeiras 3-1 at Parque São Jorge and Vasco da Gama 3-0 away from home, both in the national competition. Last Saturday, Alvinegro beat Barcelona Esportivo Capela 2-0 away from home in a São Paulo Under-17 Championship match, before reaching their fifth straight win on the afternoon of last Tuesday by thrashing Internacional 4-0 in the Brasileirão.

In 2026 overall, the Sons of Terrão have 13 wins, two draws, and three losses — 59 goals scored (3.27 per game) and 17 conceded (0.94 per game) — resulting in a 75.90% success rate. Corinthians will now turn their attention back to the state championship after thrashing Internacional this Tuesday (21). Next Saturday (25), at 11 a.m. (Brasília time), the Sons of Terrão host Ibrachina at Parque São Jorge in a direct clash in the first phase of the state tournament. Timão is second in the group with 22 points, while the Mooca side leads with 27 points.
