Thursday night (July 20), Corinthians won 1-0 against Rosario Central in the second leg of the Copa Libertadores round of 16 at Neo Química Arena. This result helps them advance to the quarter-finals after the first leg ended in a 0-0 draw.
In the first half, the home team Corinthians was disappointed when they could not create the expected pressure, even though they played in front of the passionate cheers of the fans. Their most significant chance in this half came from Kaio César's shot, but was saved by Rosario Central goalkeeper Ledesma. On the contrary, the away team, led by player Di María, played quite comfortably and created many dangerous situations.
Entering the second half, the situation became more difficult for Corinthians when player Raniele received a red card after leaving a shoe mark on Coppeti's knee after VAR intervened. However, the appearance of Memphis Depay has fanned the flames of hope for fans. Within just a few minutes on the field, Depay took a free kick from the left wing, and Breno Bidon appeared just in time to score the opening goal for Corinthians.
Before the match, fans expressed their dissatisfaction with the club's current situation through banners such as "Loyal fans, right to vote!", "Legal intervention now!" and "Enough with the amateurism".
