At the Neo Química Arena, Corinthians lost to Coritiba 2-0 this Wednesday (11th), in the fifth round of the Brasileirão 2026.
This was Coxa's first victory over the São Paulo team at the NQA, having previously recorded one draw and six defeats.
⚽ The Game
The first half was tough for Timão, which barely created any offensive plays and faced scares in defense.
Pedro Rocha, for instance, managed to find the back of the net, but the play was ruled offside.
But there was no way around it. After a corner kick, defender Jacy rose higher than everyone and headed the ball into the corner of Hugo Souza's goal to open the scoring for Coxa.
After the break, Coritiba didn't take long to extend their lead.
With very loose marking, Corinthians watched as the alviverde team exchanged passes on the left side until Josué crossed into the area for Lucas Ronier to appear behind the defense and make it 2-0.
The match was marked by the drama experienced by defender Jacy, who had to leave by ambulance at the beginning of the second half.
🥶 Cold Shower
The defeat of Corinthians shook the Fiel Torcida, who were celebrating at the Neo Química Arena for the presentation of the Englishman Lingard.
Even a large banner was unfurled in the stands to welcome the new foreign player of Timão.
Even the American filmmaker Spike Lee was present in Itaquera to watch the game.
However, Lee left before the match ended.
🚦 Current Standings
With the second consecutive round without a victory (one draw and one defeat), Corinthians remains with seven points and in eighth place.
