On the night of last Thursday (20), Corinthians hosted Rosario Central-ARG at Neo Química Arena for the second leg of the 2026 Conmebol Libertadores Round of 16 and defeated the opponent 1-0. The goal scored by midfielder Breno Bidon in the closing moments of the second half sent Timão through to the quarterfinals of the international tournament, matching the 2022 campaign as the club’s best run since the 2012 title and securing another 1.7 million dollars (R$ 9 million) for the club’s coffers.

According to a survey by the R10 Score website, the club from Parque São Jorge is the third Serie A club with the most victories in national and international competitions this year (16), sharing that spot with Botafogo. Ahead of Fernando Diniz’s side in the ranking are Palmeiras (21) and Flamengo (20).
