Corinthians fell 1-2 to the away side at home in Itaquera on Sunday, their fourth successive loss in the league. The opposition grabbed both goals through Marcinho, giving them an away win that had been a long time coming. Pressure on coach Fernando Diniz is intensifying after a result that heaps more scrutiny on the dugout. His side were undone by a team placed last in the division. The slump in league results in the league, which has now hit four in succession, leaves little room for comfort. Local supporters headed home with little to cheer about, and the boardroom will ponder the path forward. Until the slump breaks, the narrative around this team risks becoming more strained. Reports suggest a bus split opinion during the week, adding more grist to the mill ahead of a tough next match. Still, the head coach will keep pushing for improvement, and his shot at relief is around the corner. The short run of games may shape the story about where this Corinthians group is going.
