By Mirella Ramos / Central do Timão Editorial Team

Corinthians and Internacional will face each other again at Neo Química Arena this Sunday (05), at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time), in the 10th round of the Brazilian Championship. The last meeting between the teams at the black-and-white club’s stadium ended in a 4-2 win for Timão, in a match valid for the 2025 edition of the competition. Alvinegro currently sits 14th in the table with 10 points, with two wins, four draws, and three losses – eight goals scored and eight conceded.

Besides the result, the match also marked an important moment: it was Dorival Júnior’s debut at Neo Química Arena as Corinthians head coach. The manager had led the team for the first time days earlier, away from home, and played his first match in front of the Fiel in that very clash.

On that occasion, Corinthians came out on top in an eventful game full of swings on the scoreboard. The standout was Yuri Alberto, who scored three times and was decisive in Alvinegro’s victory. Igor Coronado also got on the scoresheet and completed the scoreline late on.

The match began with Corinthians in control, opening the scoring after an individual play by Yuri Alberto. Despite the early control, the team conceded two goals in quick succession still in the first half and went into the break trailing.

After the break, the scenario changed. With greater attacking volume and taking advantage of the numerical superiority after an opposing player was sent off, Timão managed to respond. Yuri Alberto found the net again and made it all square before converting a penalty in the final minutes to complete the comeback. Deep into stoppage time, Igor Coronado took advantage of a quick move and scored the fourth goal, sealing the score in Itaquera.

Now, almost a year later, Corinthians and Internacional meet again at the same venue, with Timão looking to get back to winning ways in the national competition.
