In Matchday 23 of the 2026 Brasileirão, Cruzeiro secured a 2-1 victory over Corinthians at the Timão stadium. Goals from Bruno Rodrigues and Wanderson proved decisive for Cruzeiro, with both players having gone goalless since February 2026. This win marked Cruzeiro's fourth triumph at home since the Timão opened in 2014.
The match featured a mostly reserve side for both teams due to upcoming Libertadores matches. Raposa put Corinthians ahead early in the game, and Bruno Rodrigues converted Hugo Souza's rebound to double the lead. In the second half, Gustavo Henrique equalized with a stunning volley, and Lucho Rodríguez put Cruzeiro ahead with a powerful strike. Both sides hit the opponent's woodwork twice throughout the game.
Following this victory, Cruzeiro climbed to fifth place in the standings with 36 points, while Corinthians remained in ninth place with 32 points. Both teams will face each other again in midweek for the second legs of the Libertadores round of 16. Cruzeiro will host Rosario Central at Neo Química Arena, while Corinthians travel to Flamengo at the Maracanã.
