Corinthians Paulista

In all, Corinthians' unbeaten run of seven games has been unbroken. It began with a confident win over Boca Juniors in the Libertadores Cup, continued with victories over Fortaleza and Bragantino in the league, and Brazilian Cup victories over Portuguesa and draws against Deportivo Cali, Boca, and Internacional. In all competitions, Corinthians are in complete control of their results. In Serie A, the Timao leads by one point ahead of Palmeiras, Botafogo, and Atletico Mineiro. After six rounds played, Corinthians has 13 points. Corinthians played two home matches in the Brazilian championship, winning both of them.

Sao Paulo
