After half a season, Corinthians among Brasileirão's worst-disciplined | OneFootball

Last Saturday, May 30, Corinthians closed out the first half of the 2026 season with a 3-1 win over Grêmio in Rio Grande do Sul, in a match valid for the 18th round of the Brazilian Championship. Timão’s goals were scored by André Luiz (twice) and forward Kaio César. The positive result lifted Alvinegro to 10th place with 24 points — 18 goals scored and 19 conceded.

Despite the recent recovery in the national competition, moving away from the relegation zone, Alvinegro ended the first six months of the year among the most undisciplined teams in the current Brasileirão edition. In 18 matches in the tournament, the team has collected 47 yellow cards and four reds, the third-highest total of cards, behind only Santos (58) and Red Bull Bragantino (54) — check out the full ranking at the end of this article.

The Corinthians player with the most cards was left-back Matheus Bidu, who has five bookings, all yellow cards. He is followed by Matheuzinho, Allan, and Raniele, with four cards each. The player sent off the most times is midfielder André Luiz (twice). The first came in the scoreless draw in the Derby against Palmeiras on April 12 at Neo Química Arena, in the Brasileirão. Wearing No. 49, he made an obscene gesture toward rival player Andreas Pereira. The second sending-off came two weeks later after a hard foul on Thiago Mendes in the 1-0 win over Vasco in Itaquera.

These incidents led to the youngster being punished by the Superior Sports Justice Tribunal (STJD). Allan was also sent off for an obscene gesture in the 3-1 loss to Fluminense at the Maracanã in early April, and he also received a warning from the body. Another player who was sent off was right-back Matheuzinho, after striking Flaco López in the derby against Palmeiras at home in mid-April. Like André, he ended up being punished by the STJD.

It is worth noting that, according to ge.globo, Corinthians will return to training next Thursday (25) at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava to continue preparations for the rest of the season, which will include knockout rounds in the Copa do Brasil and the Libertadores, as well as the Brazilian Championship in the round-robin format. Officially, Timão will only return to the pitch in the week of July 22, when they host Remo in Itaquera for the close of the first half of the Brasileirão. Before that, they are expected to play a friendly against FC Cascavel in Paraná, scheduled for July 12.
