Corinthians endure another winless Libertadores debut, record worsens | OneFootball

Corinthians drew 1-1 with Independiente del Valle, from Ecuador, in the first round of the group stage of the Conmebol Libertadores Feminina. The result, achieved in Buenos Aires, Argentina, highlights the recent unfavorable history of the alvinegra team in the competition's debuts.

In the last four tournaments, the Brabas have recorded only one win, two draws, and one loss in the opening of the competition. The only victory occurred against Colo-Colo, from Chile, in 2023, with a score of 1-0. The draw with one goal for each side, as in this year's debut, also happened against Boca Juniors, from Argentina, last year. In 2022, the team lost to Deportivo Cali, from Colombia, in 2022.

Until 2022, Corinthians had a perfect record in the Libertadores Feminina debuts. The team defeated San Lorenzo, from Argentina (2-0), Club Nañas, from Ecuador (3-1), Sportivo Limpeño, from Paraguay (2-0), and achieved an impressive 16-0 over El Nacional, from Ecuador.

In this round's game, the victory slipped away in the final minutes. Gabi Zanotti opened the scoring early in the match with a penalty kick, but in stoppage time, Valencia took advantage of a defensive error by Corinthians and equalized at the Florencio Sola Stadium, the Lencho.

Corinthians will return to the field next Sunday, October 5, at 4 p.m., to face Always Ready, from Bolivia, at Nuevo Francisco Urbano, for the second round of Group A. Only the top two teams will advance to the quarterfinals of the competition.
