Flamengo beat Corinthians 2-1 in the Brasileirão. A one-goal margin between two of Brazil’s most-followed clubs, with Corinthians unable to find a late equalizer. The result is based on live Brasileirão data as of September 13, 2026.
The Scoreline
Three goals total and a single-goal winning margin is the profile of a genuinely competitive match rather than a one-sided affair. Corinthians got themselves on the scoresheet, which keeps this from reading as a rout, but it wasn’t enough to avoid defeat.
Why This Result Matters
Matches between Flamengo and Corinthians carry weight beyond the three points on offer, given the size and reach of both clubs domestically. A narrow win keeps Flamengo’s momentum going without papering over the fact that Corinthians made a real game of it. For Corinthians, scoring in a match they ultimately lost is a mixed signal — enough attacking quality to trouble a top side, not enough defensive solidity to hold on.
What’s Next for Both Teams
Flamengo will want to tighten things up defensively given they conceded in a match they controlled for large stretches. Corinthians can build on the attacking output shown here, even in a losing cause, heading into their next Brasileirão fixture.
