History

The first meeting against a Colombian club took place on February 28, 1954, during the Maria Eugenia Rojas Tournament. On that occasion, Corinthians were defeated 1-0 by Millonarios. Still in that competition, they also faced Santa Fe, Atlético Nacional, and Independiente Medellín, and against the latter they recorded an emphatic 7-3 thrashing.

Against Santa Fe, the record is positive and unbeaten. The only three official matches took place in the Libertadores group stage, two in 2016 and the latest this Wednesday: a 1-0 home win and a 1-1 away draw ten years ago, and a 2-0 victory this season. In addition, the teams have also met in three friendlies, with two Corinthians wins and one draw.

Among Colombian clubs, Millonarios are Timão's most frequent opponent in history. Their most recent meeting came in the 2018 Libertadores. However, the overall record shows a disadvantage for the Brazilians, with two wins, two draws, and three losses in seven matches.
