Corinthians climb to 11th in Brasileirão table, check the latest standings | OneFootball

This Sunday, the 24th, Corinthians returned to the field for the Brazilian Championship. In a game valid for the 21st round of the competition, the Alvinegro went to São Januário to face Vasco, seeking to break a six-game winless streak in the competition. And in a competent game, Timão took advantage of the chances they had and won 3-2, with goals from Maycon, Gui Negão, and Gustavo Henrique.

With the result, the People's Team reached 25 points, now totaling six wins, seven draws, and eight losses, in addition to 22 goals scored and 27 goals conceded. The triumph allowed Corinthians to finish the day in 11th place in the standings – a position that is already guaranteed, as neither Sport nor Vitória (who play against Palmeiras and Flamengo, respectively, on Monday, the 25th, in the closing of the round) can surpass Timão.

The distance from Timão to its state rivals also decreased. Palmeiras, who play in the round, remain in third place with 39 points. Mirassol occupies the sixth position with 32 points, one position ahead of São Paulo, who has the same score but a worse goal difference. Right after, in eighth, comes Red Bull Bragantino, with 30 points.

In addition, Corinthians remains ahead of Santos in the standings, as the coastal team now occupies 15th place in the standings with 21 points. The distance to the relegation zone, finally, increased and is now six points, as Vitória, 17th place, has 19 points and even if they win on Monday, will give way to Vasco, who also has 19 points.

Now, Corinthians refocuses on the Copa do Brasil. At 9:30 PM (Brasília time), next Wednesday, August 27, the Alvinegro visits Athletico-PR, at the Arena da Baixada, for the first leg of the quarterfinals of the national knockout tournament.
