Corinthians loses to Chapecoense, marking fourth consecutive defeat
Corinthians suffered a 2-1 comeback defeat against Chapecoense at the Neo Química Arena during the 26th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. Despite Matheus Bidu scoring for the home side in the first minute, Marcinho secured a victory for Chapecoense with two goals, including the decisive strike in the second half.
The loss marks Corinthians' fourth consecutive defeat in the national championship, causing the team to drop to 11th place with 32 points. The defeat has intensified pressure on manager Fernando Diniz, who apologized to fans for the poor performance and addressed ongoing issues regarding delayed player salaries.
Chapecoense, currently at the bottom of the table, remains in a difficult position fighting against relegation, though the win provides a momentary boost. Corinthians now faces a challenging schedule, including a crucial Libertadores quarter-final match against Estudiantes in Argentina.
