📋 Corinthians named to chase a Libertadores semi-final spot

📋 Corinthians named to chase a Libertadores semi-final spot The moment of truth has arrived! Corinthians face Estudiantes later today, starting at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) this Wednesday (16). It is the second leg of the 2026 Copa Libertadores quarter-finals. The Neo Química Arena will be the venue. Venezuelan referee Jesús Valenzuela will take charge. TV Globo, ge, tv and Paramount+ will broadcast it. Match situation 🆚 Another draw — regardless of the scoreline — will send the tie to penalties. Whoever advances will secure prize money of 2.3 million dollars. And will face Flamengo or Independiente del Valle in the semis. The first leg ended in a 2-0 win for the Rubro-Negro in Quito. The return leg will be this Thursday (17), at the Maracanã. Corinthians 🦅 Fernando Diniz is under heavy pressure because of five straight defeats in the Brasileirão. He will once again field the strongest lineup available to him. And he has also been boosted by the return of André, who has recovered from a right thigh injury. Raniele will serve the second game of his suspension. And Yuri Alberto has still not recovered. Estudiantes 🇦🇷 Alexander "Cacique" Medina will be without left-back Gastón Benedetti, who is suspended. Veteran Lucas Alario is with the medical department. The lineup has not yet been officially announced.
