Corinthians have a largely favorable record against Colombian teams and will face another opponent from the country this Wednesday (15) at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time). In the second round of the Libertadores group stage, Timão host Independiente Santa Fe at Neo Química Arena.

Throughout their history, the club from Parque São Jorge has already faced ten different teams from Colombia, including Santa Fe itself. In total, there have been 33 matches, with 16 wins, 11 draws, and only six losses. The black-and-white attack scored 48 goals, while the defense conceded 32, in matches played in friendlies, the Copa Conmebol, the Libertadores, and the South American Cup.

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

Against this Wednesday’s opponent, the record is positive and unbeaten. The only two official matches took place in the 2016 Libertadores group stage: a 1-0 home win and a 1-1 away draw. In addition, the teams have also met in three friendlies, with two Corinthians victories and one draw.

Among Colombian clubs, Millonarios are the most frequent opponent in Timão’s history. The most recent meeting between them took place 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.

The most recent clash against a Colombian team was on May 6, 2025, when Corinthians drew 1-1 with América de Cali at Neo Química Arena in the South American Cup.

Now, Timão’s goal is to maintain the lead in Libertadores Group E. After beating Platense 2-0 in the opener, the team has three points and sits ahead of Independiente Santa Fe and Peñarol, who drew in the first round and have just one point each.
