Corinthians Clinches Victory as Brasileirão’s First Half Concludes
This Thursday (23), the first half of the 2026 Brasileirão came to an end.
The match that wrapped up the 19th round was Corinthians’ 3-0 win over Remo at Neo Química Arena.
But in Rio de Janeiro, in a postponed match from the fourth round, Botafogo and Vitória drew 0-0.

The match at Nilton Santos Stadium also brought an end to the main transfer “saga” in Brazilian football at the start of this mid-year window.
That’s because Danilo took the field for Glorioso and reached the maximum number of matches for the team, preventing a transfer to another Serie A club (Palmeiras and Flamengo were in the race).
Now, Flamengo and Mirassol are the only teams that still have not completed 19 matches, but the CBF has not yet scheduled a date for the game, also valid for the fourth round.
