Corinthians extend unbeaten away run against Vitória | OneFootball

On the night of last Saturday, Corinthians drew 0-0 with Vitória in a match valid for the 12th round of the Brazilian Championship. Despite not coming away with the win, the result helped maintain the São Paulo club’s positive run at Barradão, where they have not lost to the opponent in nearly a decade.

The last time Timão was beaten at Manoel Barradas stadium was on May 22, 2016, when Vitória won 3-2. In that match, Uendel and Fagner scored for the visitors, while Leandro Domingues, Marinho, and Kieza secured the home side’s victory. Since then, the teams have faced each other five more times at the venue, with two Corinthians wins and three draws.

The unbeaten streak began in 2018, when the teams drew 0-0 in the first leg of the Copa do Brasil round of 16 in April. Months later, in October, they drew again, this time 2-2 in the Brasileirão, with goals from Jadson and Roger for Corinthians, while Rhayner and Neilton scored for Vitória.

After that period, the next meeting in Salvador only took place again in 2024. On that occasion, Corinthians, then managed by Ramón Díaz, fell behind on the scoreboard but came from behind with goals from Yuri Alberto and Memphis Depay to win 2-1. In the following season, the club came out on top again, this time with a 1-0 victory, with a goal from Charles.

This recent history also marked an unprecedented streak in the century: it was the first time Corinthians played at Barradão for three consecutive years. The only similar run had occurred between 1996 and 1998, when the team lost two straight matches there (one of them a friendly) before winning in the Brazilian Championship.

In the overall record at the Bahia stadium, Corinthians hold the advantage. In 17 matches played, they have five wins, eight draws, and four losses, with 18 goals scored and 20 conceded.

Even with the unbeaten away run intact, the draw was not enough to improve their position in the table. With the result, the team managed by Fernando Diniz dropped to 17th place, with 12 points from 12 matches, moving into the Brazilian Championship relegation zone.
