Corinthians equal record for consecutive Copa do Brasil wins | OneFootball

On the evening of Wednesday, the 27th, Corinthians took the field again for the Copa do Brasil. In a match valid for the first leg of the quarterfinals, the Alvinegro went to Ligga Arena in Curitiba to face Athletico-PR. In a balanced game, which featured important saves by Hugo Souza, Timão won 1-0 away from home, with a goal by Gui Negão in the second half.

In addition to giving Timão an important advantage in the fight for a spot in the semifinals of the competition, the victory in Curitiba also allowed the club to match a historic record in the Copa do Brasil. After all, this is now five consecutive wins in the current edition of the tournament, a streak the club had only achieved once before in its history, no less than 24 years ago.

This feat happened during the campaign that ended with the runner-up finish in the 2001 Copa do Brasil. On that occasion, Corinthians beat Joinville 3-1 away from home in the first round, Goiânia 1-0 away and 3-1 at home in the second round, and Flamengo-PI 8-1 away and 3-0 at home in the round of 16. Then, a goalless draw at home against Athletico-PR, in the opening of the quarterfinals, ended their 100% winning streak.

Now in 2025, the streak began with two wins over Novorizontino by 1-0, away and at home, followed by 1-0 and 2-0 victories over Palmeiras, at home and away, and continued this Wednesday with the 1-0 win over Athletico-PR away from home.

Thus, if Corinthians win again against the Paraná team in the return leg, they will break their historic record for consecutive victories in the Copa do Brasil. Before that, however, they have a match in the Brazilian Championship, which takes place this Sunday, the 31st, at Neo Química Arena, for the 22nd round of the tournament.
