Internacional defeated Coritiba 1-0 at Beira-Rio in the 34th round of the 2026 Brasileirão, moving out of the relegation zone. The winning goal came in the final moments, when Alerrandro scored from the penalty spot after Rodrigo Moledo committed a foul in the box.
The performance drew criticism despite the result. Without Alan Patrick, Internacional struggled to control the midfield in the first half, allowing Coritiba to find space in the area. Carbonero worked hard and was described as the team’s most effective attacker, but the hosts did not press their opponents as they had in earlier wins over Corinthians and Botafogo.
Internacional improved its approach after the break, though the overall quality of play remained poor. Coritiba faded as the match went on and conceded the decisive penalty at the end. Alerrandro, who had not scored since May, converted the kick.
The victory leaves Internacional needing two more wins to secure its place in Série A, according to the source.
