Corinthians named to chase final Libertadores quarter-final spot

Corinthians take the field this Thursday (20), at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Neo Química Arena, to face Rosario Central in the second leg of the 2026 Conmebol Libertadores round of 16.

After a 0-0 draw in the first leg in Argentina, whoever wins in Itaquera will advance to face Estudiantes.

If Timão secure the last spot in the tournament quarterfinals, the second leg will also be played at Neo Química Arena.

Based on the competition bracket, Flamengo or Tolima/Independiente del Valle could be the Parque São Jorge side’s opponent in a potential semifinal.

Compared to the last match (a 2-1 loss to Cruzeiro in the Brasileirão), coach Fernando Diniz opted for just one change for Corinthians: Raniele comes in for Allan.

After the twist in the contract renewal saga, Memphis Depay starts on the bench!
