Fernando Diniz’s run began with a 2-0 win over Argentina’s Platense in Corinthians’ Libertadores opener. After that, Timão drew 0-0 with Palmeiras, beat Independiente Santa Fe 2-0, drew 0-0 with Vitória, and defeated Barra 1-0 before the victory over Vasco.

Now, looking to extend the historic streak, Diniz is preparing Corinthians to face Peñarol next Thursday (30) in a match valid for the third round of the Copa Libertadores group stage.
