Corinthians draw in Uruguay and seal top spot in Libertadores group
At Campeón del Siglo, in Uruguay, Corinthians drew 1-1 with Peñarol this Thursday (21) in the penultimate round of the 2026 Conmebol Libertadores group stage.
Highlights coming shortly
With a reserve side, Timão did not have a good first half.
The Uruguayans opened the scoring through Maximiliano Olivera and also had what would have been a second goal ruled out for offside.
The Brazilian side’s best chance came from Pedro Milans’ shot, which skimmed the post in the closing minutes of the first half.
After the break, however, Corinthians looked better on the pitch and began to put pressure on the Uruguayan side.
Then, after troubling the goalkeeper with a long-range effort, Zakarya Labyad showed great opportunism to pounce on the rebound and level the match.
In the final minutes, Garro and Yuri Alberto had good chances to complete the comeback, but both shot straight at goalkeeper Aguerre.
Standings
With the draw, Corinthians reached 11 points and secured top spot in Group E with one round to spare, since Platense (7), Santa Fe (5), and Peñarol (3) can no longer catch them.
Timão will wrap up its group-stage campaign on May 27 (Wednesday), when it hosts Platense at Neo Química Arena.
Before that, however, Corinthians hosts Atlético-MG in Itaquera on Sunday (24) in the 17th round of the Brasileirão, with the mission of climbing out of the bottom four (17th place).
