Corinthians to face Estudiantes in Libertadores quarter-finals after 1-0 win over Rosario Central | OneFootball

Corinthians will meet Estudiantes de La Plata in the Copa Libertadores quarter-finals after beating Rosario Central 1-0 at Neo Química Arena on Thursday.

According to Meu Timao, the first leg is planned for the second week of September, across eight, nine or 10, and will be staged in La Plata. Both clubs topped their groups, and with Corinthians holding the superior overall tally, they open away.

The return is set for the following week, between 15, 16 and 17 September, at Neo Química Arena, where the tie will be decided.

Corinthians drew 0-0 in Argentina in the first leg of the previous round, then won the return despite playing with one fewer from early in the second half. A combination between Depay and Bidon produced the decisive goal.

Estudiantes secured their place on Tuesday by beating Universidad Católica of Chile 3-0 in their second leg, then waited for this outcome.

Until then, Corinthians turn to the Campeonato Brasileiro. Fernando Diniz’s side visit Coritiba at Estádio Couto Pereira on Sunday at 19:30 in the 24th round.
