Sub-17 Brasileirão thrashing lifts Corinthians in 2026 rankings | OneFootball

On the afternoon of last Tuesday (21), Corinthians hosted Internacional at Estádio Alfredo Schürig, Fazendinha, in a match valid for the ninth round of the first phase of the 2026 Brazilian U-17 Championship, and cruised to a 4-0 win. The result put Timãozinho in provisional first place in the national competition with 19 points — six wins, one draw, and two losses — with 27 goals scored and seven conceded.

The rout shook up Corinthians’ scoring rankings this season. Attacking midfielder Lucca Caramicco, the team’s standout player, extended his lead as the top scorer among the Filhos do Terrão this year, reaching 11 goals in 15 matches. His goal, Alvinegro’s first of the game, came 12 minutes into the second half, when Gustavo Milani played out from the back with Ji-Paraná, who found a long ball in behind the defense. The midfielder received it, drove into the box, and fired into the back of the net against the team from Rio Grande do Sul – Check out the full list at the end of the article.

In the 28th minute, Léo Rodrigues scored his fourth goal in eight matches this season. Recently recovered from injury, the youngster born in 2010 scored after pouncing on a loose ball inside the penalty area following a worked free-kick taken by midfielder Léo Amistá toward Caramico, whose cross had been poorly cleared by the Gaúcho defense.

A little over 10 minutes later, Alvinegro scored through Rafael Guarnieri, who found the net for the second time in eight matches this season. The midfielder struck a powerful shot into the top corner after receiving a pass from Piracicaba. Like Guarnieiri, in stoppage time Gustavo Sales also reached his second goal in 16 matches this season after receiving the ball from Léo Amistá at the edge of the box. He controlled it, turned past his marker, and finished past the goalkeeper.

After thrashing Internacional at home in the Brazilian U-17 Championship, Corinthians now turns its focus back to the Paulista Championship in the category. Next Saturday (25), at 11 a.m. (Brasília time), the Filhos do Terrão host Ibrachina at Parque São Jorge in a direct clash in the first phase of the state competition. Timão is second in the group with 22 points, while the Mooca side leads with 27 points.
