On Thursday night (14), at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time), Corinthians will host Barra, from Santa Catarina, for the second leg of the fifth round of the 2026 Copa do Brasil. Any draw or win will send Alvinegro through to the round of 16. In the first leg, played on April 21 (Tuesday) at Estádio da Ressacada, Alvinegro won 1-0, with a goal from Jesse Lingard in the closing stages of the match.
The club from Parque São Jorge comes into this decisive Copa do Brasil clash after a 3-2 win over São Paulo at Neo Química Arena in the Majestoso derby for the 15th round of the 2026 Brazilian Championship. Since Fernando Diniz arrived in early April, Timão has recorded six wins, three draws, and one loss — 13 goals scored and five conceded.
