Corinthians knocked out of Copa do Brasil by Internacional FAST-MOVING
On August 6, 2026, Sport Club Corinthians Paulista defeated Sport Club Internacional 2‑1 at Neo Química Arena in São Paulo, but the aggregate score of 3‑2 (after a 2‑0 first‑leg loss in Porto Alegre) eliminated Corinthians from the Copa do Brasil. Coach Fernando Diniz said the refereeing was decisive and criticised several decisions, while also confirming that negotiations to renew Dutch striker Memphis Depay’s contract are close to completion. Internacional advanced to the quarter‑finals and will await a draw to learn its next opponent. Corinthians now turn their focus to the Campeonato Brasileiro, where they will play Red Bull Bragantino on the following Sunday, and to the Copa Libertadores, with a first‑leg tie against Rosario Central scheduled for August 13.
