By Fabio Luigi | Central do Timão Editorial Team

Corinthians hosted Vasco da Gama on Sunday afternoon (26) at Neo Química Arena, in a match valid for the 13th round of the 2026 Brazilian Championship, and came away with a 1-0 victory. The man responsible for Corinthians’ goal was left-back Matheus Bidu, in the 38th minute of the first half.

With the result and the end of the round, the club from Parque São Jorge jumped from 17th place — the relegation zone — to 14th with 15 points — three wins, six draws, and four defeats — with nine goals scored and 11 conceded. Timão moved past Atlético-MG (15th), Internacional (16th), and Santos (17th) — all tied on 14 points and separated by tiebreakers.

The team from Minas Gerais was thrashed 4-0 by Flamengo on Sunday night at Arena MRV. Meanwhile, Internacional drew 2-2 with Botafogo at Mané Garrincha Stadium last Saturday. On the same day, Santos visited Bahia at Arena Fonte Nova and drew by the same scoreline as Colorado. Alongside the team from Baixada Santista, the bottom four is completed by Mirassol (nine points), Remo (eight points), and Chapecoense (eight points).

The club from Parque São Jorge is only four points behind seventh-placed Coritiba (19 points). Eighth-placed Botafogo has 17 points from 12 matches — one fewer than the rest of the teams in the league. Vitória also has a game in hand and sits 13th with 15 points from 12 matches.

It is worth noting that Alvinegro returns to Brasileirão action next Sunday (3) at 8:30 p.m. (Brasília time) against Mirassol at Maião, in the 14th round. Before that, however, they will face Uruguay’s Peñarol at Neo Química Arena in the third round of the 2026 Conmebol Libertadores group stage. The match will be played at 9 p.m. (Brasília time) next Thursday (30). Fernando Diniz’s men lead Group E with six points — four goals scored and none conceded — a 100% record.
