Corinthians are the first Brazilian side into the Libertadores last 16

Now Corinthians’ battle is to secure first place in Copa Libertadores Group E.

The draw between Peñarol and Platense this Thursday (7) sealed Timão’s qualification for the round of 16 with two matchdays to spare.

It is the second team to qualify so far, after Independiente Rivadavia in Group C, the one where current bottom side Fluminense play.

Corinthians reached ten points after drawing with Independiente Santa Fe on Wednesday (6) and then started hoping for Peñarol to slip up.

The Uruguayan side took the lead against Platense in front of their home fans, but ended up with a 1-1 draw.

They moved to two points and, like Santa Fe, can no longer catch Fernando Diniz’s men.

Timão will still visit Peñarol themselves (21/5) before hosting Santa Fe (27/5).
