Win over Bahia in Brasileirão U17 lifts Corinthians in 2026 ranking | OneFootball

Corinthians hosted Bahia on the afternoon of this Wednesday (5) at Estádio do Canindé, in a match valid for the 10th round of the first phase of the 2026 Brazilian Under-17 Championship, and beat their opponent 4-2. Timão initially fell behind on the scoreboard, but soon after equalized and turned the match around. The result saw the Corinthians side reclaim second place in the national competition with 22 points — seven wins, one draw, and two defeats — with 31 goals scored and nine conceded.

The three points also shook up the Filhos do Terrão scoring charts for the 2026 season. Midfielder Lucca Caramico remains the team’s top scorer and, with the goal scored this afternoon, reached 14 goals in 18 matches this year — 10 of them in the Brasileirão. Forward Miguel Moscardo, meanwhile, has further strengthened his hold on second place in the scoring charts, with nine goals in 15 matches. Even in his first year in the category, he is already one of the team’s main players.

Center-back Ronaldo Henrique, 17, drew level with Matheus Rocha and reached his third goal in 16 matches this season. In an interview with Filhos do Terrão’s social media, the official Corinthians youth academy page, he commented on the win: “It’s a performance that is the result of the whole team’s work. Thank God, I was able to contribute there with the ball from the training work every day. To give Gabriel (Amaral, assistant coach) confidence, I managed to do well there. And as for marking, we train it daily. We can learn a lot, the team is good, strong mentality.”

Lastly, forward Kayke Dallaqua, 16, who had not played since January due to a right ankle injury suffered in April, scored his first goal of the season right in his return to the pitch. As a result, the youngster entered the team’s scoring list and is now another attacking option for coach Guilherme Nascimento.

After beating Bahia at Canindé in the Brazilian Under-17 Championship, Corinthians now turn their attention back to the Paulista Championship in the category. Next Saturday (8), at 11 a.m. (Brasília time), Filhos do Terrão will host São Caetano at the same stadium in their 12th match of the first phase of the state tournament. Timão, it is worth remembering, are second in Group 12 with 25 points — eight wins, one draw, and two defeats — with 43 goals scored and 16 conceded. The leader is Ibrachina, with 30 points.

In the national competition, Timãozinho will return to the field next Tuesday (11) to face Flamengo away from home in the 11th round of the tournament’s qualifying phase.
