Corinthians fell 1-2 to the away side at home in Itaquera on Sunday, their fourth successive loss in the league. The visitors secured both goals through Marcinho, giving them an away win that had been a long time coming. Heat on coach Fernando Diniz is growing after a result that leaves the fans restless. His side were beaten by a team propping up the standings. The slump in league results in the league, which now stretches to four losses in a row, provides small consolation. Local supporters left disappointed once more, and the club's hierarchy face a growing set of questions. Until form turns around, the atmosphere around the club risks becoming more strained. Reports suggest that the trip was draining, adding more grist to the mill ahead of a tough next match. Still, the technical staff will demand a reaction, and his opportunity to change the run arrives quickly. The short run of games may shape the story about where this Corinthians outfit is drifting.
