📹 Terrão boys shine as Corinthians break into the Paulistão top four | OneFootball

In a postponed match that closed out the sixth round of the 2026 Paulistão, Corinthians defeated Capivariano 3-0 at the Neo Química Arena this Thursday (5).

After winning the Supercopa do Brasil last weekend, coach Dorival Júnior fielded a mostly reserve team.

Forward Kaio César even made his debut for Timão, but ended up getting injured and was replaced by Dieguinho just 15 minutes into the match.

Lacking intensity, Corinthians saw Capivariano score with Carlos Eduardo, with a little "help" from goalkeeper Felipe Longo. However, the play was disallowed for offside.

After the break, in a good collective play before the 10-minute mark, Matheus Bidu exchanged passes with Garro and Gui Negão to enter the box and assist Dieguinho, who was unmarked and opened the scoring.

Then, Gui Negão headed in a tight cross from the right to extend the lead for Timão.

To complete the show by the "Sons of Terrão," Kayke exchanged passes with Depay at the edge of the box and curled a shot beautifully into the top corner.

🫶 Tributes

Before kickoff, Corinthians paid tribute to former player Basílio.

A "Superchampion of Brazil" banner was unfurled at the Neo Química Arena, where fans also got to see the trophy "presented" by Gabriel Paulista.

🚦 Standings

With their second consecutive win in the 2026 Paulistão, Corinthians reached 11 points and climbed to fourth place.

Capivariano, with their second straight loss, remained at seven points and dropped to 12th place.

With two rounds left in the first phase, Timão – who still face Palmeiras (02/08 – home) and São Bernardo (02/15 – away) – would currently be facing Guarani in a single-elimination match at the Neo Química Arena in the quarterfinals.
