Corinthians earn over R$9m for Copa do Brasil semi-final spot | OneFootball

With goals from midfielder Rodrigo Garro and forward Gui Negão, Corinthians hosted Athletico-PR at the Neo Química Arena on the night of Wednesday, September 10, and won by a score of 2-0. The result qualified the Alvinegro for the semifinals—for the fourth consecutive time—after achieving an aggregate score of 3-0.

This qualification also increases Corinthians’ financial gains in the national knockout tournament. The Alvinegro has now accumulated R$ 20.6 million in prize money in the competition, with R$ 9.92 million earned tonight by eliminating Athletico-PR. Previously, the club from Parque São Jorge had already collected R$ 10.69 million.

In the third round, Corinthians knocked out Novorizontino by winning both matches 1-0. In the round of 16, there were two more victories over Palmeiras—1-0 in the first leg (Neo Química Arena) and 2-0 in the return leg (Allianz Parque). This time, the victim was Athletico-PR.

If they advance to the final, Corinthians will secure at least another R$ 33 million for finishing second in the national knockout tournament. If they win the title, the prize will be R$ 77 million, bringing the total to nearly R$ 97.6 million in prize money. The opponent for the next round will be decided this Thursday, the 11th, in the match between Cruzeiro and Atlético-MG. Cruzeiro has the advantage, having won the first match 1-0.

The Brazilian Football Confederation’s calendar indicates that the two semifinal matches will take place during the weeks of December 10 and 14. Before that, however, Corinthians will focus their efforts on the Brazilian Championship. The Alvinegro will shift their attention back to the league. Next Saturday, September 13, the team will face Fluminense in a match valid for the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship, at 9 p.m. (Brasília time), at Maracanã Stadium.
