Corinthians' home streak ends, Coritiba win after 15 years | OneFootball

Corinthians was defeated by Coritiba 2-0 on the night of last Wednesday (11), in a match valid for the fifth round of the Brazilian Championship, held at the Neo Química Arena. Besides being a setback for the team's ambitions this season, the result also ended a long unbeaten streak against the club from Paraná.

The club from Parque São Jorge had not lost to Coritiba since September 2011, when they were beaten 1-0 in the second half of that year’s Brasileirão at Couto Pereira. Since then, there had been 18 matches, with 12 wins and six draws – a 77.7% success rate.

In addition, Corinthians lost their unbeaten record against Coritiba at the Neo Química Arena. Before last Wednesday’s match, the two teams had faced each other seven times at the stadium, with six wins for the Alvinegro and one draw, since its inauguration in 2014. During this period, 18 goals were scored and eight conceded.

After the defeat, Corinthians now turns its attention to the next fixture of the season. On Sunday (15), the team faces Santos in the traditional Clássico Alvinegro. The match is scheduled for 4:00 p.m. at Vila Belmiro, for the sixth round of the Brazilian Championship.
