Over the course of those 200 matches, Corinthians built a consistent record. There have been more than 100 wins, in addition to dozens of draws and losses, maintaining a success rate close to 60%. Overall, the team also posts balanced numbers between attack and defense, with an average of more than one goal scored per game and fewer than one conceded per match.

In the all-time Copa do Brasil ranking, the club from Parque São Jorge appears among those with the most appearances in the competition, behind only teams such as Flamengo, Vasco da Gama, Grêmio, and Atlético Mineiro, which lead in number of participations.

Corinthians’ history in the tournament is also marked by emphatic results. Among them is the 8-1 thrashing of Flamengo-PI in 2001, in addition to other lopsided scorelines over the decades that helped build the club’s tradition in the competition.

In individual terms, Marcelinho Carioca remains Corinthians’ top scorer in the Copa do Brasil, with 21 goals. Among the players in the current squad, Yuri Alberto is the leading name on the list, already ranking among the club’s top scorers in the tournament.

Corinthians has won four titles in the competition, in 1995, 2002, 2009, and 2025, in addition to reaching four other finals. As a result, it remains among the most successful clubs in Copa do Brasil history.

Now, after reaching the 200-match milestone, Alvinegro continues in search of extending its run in the tournament and defending the title won last season. The next commitment will be the second-leg clash against Barra-SC at Neo Química Arena, with a place in the next stage of the competition at stake.
