⚪ Corinthians finished the championship in 13th place, leaving no one within the club's structure satisfied with the outcome. However, after the conclusion of Serie A, the "Timão" battled for the Copa do Brasil. In a two-legged semifinal clash, Corinthians edged past Cruzeiro only after a penalty shootout. In the final, Dorival Júnior's squad faced Vasco da Gama, who had previously knocked out Fluminense. Following a home draw in the first leg, it seemed Corinthians' chances at the trophy had diminished significantly. However, at the Maracanã, goals from Yuri Alberto and Memphis Depay secured Corinthians their fourth Copa do Brasil title with a 2-1 victory. This triumph means the São Paulo club will compete in the Copa Libertadores next season instead of the Copa Sudamericana.
