Corinthians Stuns Flamengo to Claim Supercopa Title in Brasília Upset

BRASÍLIA, Brazil (Interstat) — SC Corinthians Paulista delivered a massive upset Sunday, defeating Flamengo 2-0 to win the Supercopa do Brasil at Estádio Nacional de Brasília. The victory defied overwhelming pregame projections that heavily favored the home side.

Corinthians’ substitute Gabriel Paulista opened the scoring in the 26th minute, later assisting on Yuri Alberto’s stoppage-time goal in the 97th to seal the result. Flamengo’s hopes diminished when Jorge Carrascal received a red card just before halftime.

The win gives Corinthians its first trophy of the season in this competition, while Flamengo’s early campaign struggles continue.
