Gustavo Henrique makes Libertadores team of the week for Corinthians | OneFootball

CONMEBOL released the Team of the Week for the second round of the 2026 Copa Libertadores, and Corinthians had one representative among the standouts. Center-back Gustavo Henrique was included in the selection after a decisive performance in the 2-0 win over Independiente Santa Fe at Neo Química Arena.

The defender was directly involved in both of Timão’s goals in the match. On the first, he got on the end of a corner taken by Rodrigo Garro and flicked it into the six-yard box, where Raniele finished it into the back of the net. Then, in the second half, the No. 13 himself scored against the opposition by finishing on his knee after a cross from a free kick, extending the lead.

In addition to his attacking contribution, the center-back also stood out for his defensive performance, helping the team remain solid at the back and keep a clean sheet in the competition so far.

The performance reinforces the player’s strong form, as he has been an important part of the black-and-white squad. With the goal, Gustavo Henrique reached eight goals for the club and remains among Corinthians’ highest-scoring center-backs of the decade.

After the continental recognition, the defender is once again available for the team’s next match. Corinthians return to the field this Saturday (18) at 8 p.m. (Brasília time), when they face Vitória at Barradão in the 12th round of the Brazilian Championship.
