With a mixed squad, Corinthians kicked off 2026 with a 3-0 victory over Ponte Preta at the Neo Química Arena.
Gustavo Henrique (with a header), André (kind of by accident), and André Ramalho (a stunning goal) scored in the first round of the Paulistão.
The first goal came eight minutes into the second half. Vitinho took the corner, and Gustavo Henrique rose above everyone else.
Timão extended the lead in the 17th minute. Matheuzinho fired a cross shot, the goalkeeper gave a rebound, and the ball bounced off André and into the back of the net.
Even with a 2-0 lead, Corinthians maintained their offensive stance. And they were rewarded with a STUNNING GOAL from André Ramalho with a powerful shot from outside the box.
With the win, Corinthians move into second place with three points—behind São Bernardo on goal difference (+4 versus +3).
Timão will be back on the field against RB Bragantino at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time) on Thursday (15th), at Nabizão, in Bragança Paulista.
