Corner kicks acquire a relevant status in relation to the other phases of the football game. Thus, the present study aims to describe and analyze corner goals in the elite of Brazilian football, when charged directly to the penalty area. This is a retrospective observational study, with a descriptive and associative approach, whose sample consists of 172 corner kicks where the sequence resulted in a goal. In an inferential analysis we adopted the Chi-square statistical test and the Fisher test (Exact Test) to verify the associations between the variables. The software used was SPSS v.25 and the significance level were kept at 5%. The reliability of the data was verified by the Cohen's Kappa index with agreement values ​​above 0.81 for inter and intra-evaluators. The results showed a predominance of goals with first-time finish (57%), head (64.5%), with right footing (67%). This was probably due to the fact that most of the charges are high, the majority of the collectors are right-handed and the short distance to the goal of the defending team. We also highlight that in 86.1% of the goals the attacking team won the first aerial confrontation and 61.6% of the goals were decisive for victory or draw (mainly for the visiting team not to lose). We conclude that the first aerial confrontation has a tendency to occur more in the central areas of the penalty area, however it is in the areas of the small area that most goal finishes occur.
