Corinthians extend Salvador unbeaten run, no loss since 2021 | OneFootball

The 1-1 draw with Bahia this Sunday (26), at Arena Fonte Nova, in the 20th round of the Brazilian Championship, kept Corinthians’ positive run going in Salvador. With the result, the black-and-white club reached eight consecutive matches without defeat in the capital of Bahia, a streak that has lasted since 2021.

The last time Corinthians left Salvador defeated was on January 28, 2021, when they lost 2-1 to Bahia in the 30th round of the 2020 Brazilian Championship, played on the following year’s calendar due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Gabriel scored Corinthians’ only goal in that match.

Since then, Timão has played eight matches in the city, facing Bahia and Vitória, and has recorded three wins and five draws.

The streak began back in 2021, when Corinthians faced Bahia again, this time at Pituaçu Stadium, and drew 0-0 in the Brazilian Championship.

With the Bahia club being relegated at the end of that season, Corinthians only returned to Salvador in 2023. In the teams’ reunion, again in the Brasileirão, the match at Arena Fonte Nova ended in a 0-0 draw.

Starting in 2024, the São Paulo side began to have two fixtures per season in the capital of Bahia, after Vitória’s promotion to Série A. That year, Corinthians beat Bahia 1-0 at Fonte Nova, with a goal by Romero, and defeated Vitória 2-1 at Barradão, with goals from Memphis Depay and Yuri Alberto.

In 2025, the positive record continued. Timão drew 1-1 with Bahia, with a goal by Héctor Hernández, and beat Vitória 1-0 thanks to a goal scored by Charles.

In the current season, Corinthians have already played two matches in Salvador. Before the draw against Bahia, the team had played out a 0-0 draw with Vitória at Barradão in the 12th round of the Brazilian Championship.

Despite preserving their unbeaten run in the capital of Bahia, this Sunday’s draw left Corinthians on 28 points and dropped them to eighth place in Série A, after Botafogo’s win over Cruzeiro in the round.

Now, the squad coached by Fernando Diniz turns its attention to the 21st round of the Brazilian Championship. The next match will be on Thursday (30), at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time), against Athletico at Neo Química Arena.
