Flamengo beat Corinthians 2-1 in the Brasileirão on September 13, 2026. Corinthians’ late goal wasn’t enough to force a draw.
Flamengo’s Form String Has a Wrinkle
Flamengo sit first in the Brasileirão table with 57 points from 27 matches — 17 wins, six draws, four losses — and a +31 goal difference, figures that reflect Brazil’s long calendar-year season rather than any anomaly. Their recent form reads WWWWL, with that loss the most recent result before this match, meaning Sunday’s win snapped a run that had briefly turned against the league leaders.
A Contest, Not a Coronation
Three goals total and just a one-goal margin make this closer to a genuine contest than the gap at the top of the table might suggest. Corinthians got on the scoresheet, keeping the match live until the final whistle even without taking a point from it.
