Corinthians’ pursuit of momentum was halted at the Neo Química Arena, where they suffered a 2-1 defeat to Chapecoense in the 26th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. Despite an early advantage provided by Matheus Bidu in the first minute, ~~Corinthians could not maintain the lead.~~ Chapecoense secured the comeback victory through two goals from Marcinho, scored in the 40th minute of the first half and the 32nd minute of the second half. The loss extends Corinthians’ streak of four consecutive defeats and complicates their efforts to climb the standings. Following the match, Corinthians sits in 11th place with 32 points. For Chapecoense, the win provides vital momentum in their battle against relegation; while they remain at the bottom of the league table, they have moved to 17 points. In the wake of the defeat, striker Memphis Depay has called for a “mentality shift” within the squad. Depay defended coach Fernando Diniz, suggesting that players must take responsibility for their performances and handle the pressure of representing the club. Diniz responded to these remarks by stating that Depay’s comments are merely his “personal opinion” and that the club is capable of managing such internal dynamics. Adding to the internal tension, manager Fernando Diniz apologized to fans for the poor performance and addressed ongoing issues regarding delayed player salaries. The team must now shift its focus toward the upcoming Copa Libertadores quarter-final against ~~Estudiantes.~~ Estudiantes in Argentina.
