Corinthians improve Libertadores record at Neo Química Arena | OneFootball

On the night of last Wednesday (15), Corinthians hosted Santa Fe at Neo Química Arena in a match valid for the second round of the 2026 Conmebol Libertadores group stage, and won 2-0. The scorers for Alvinegro were defensive midfielder Raniele and center-back Gustavo Henrique. The three points left the Corinthians side at the top of Group E with six points – four goals scored and none conceded.

In addition to the three points, the club from Parque São Jorge also improved its record in Libertadores matches played in Itaquera. Now, overall, since February 2015, when the stadium hosted its first match in the international competition, there have been 25 games, with 15 wins, four draws, and six losses – 43 goals scored and 16 conceded – a 65.3% success rate.

Corinthians’ longest unbeaten run in the Libertadores at the Arena came between 2018 and 2022. In that span, there were four wins and two draws in matches against Colo-Colo (Chile), Guarani (Paraguay), Deportivo Cali (Colombia), Always Ready (Bolivia), and Boca Jrs (Argentina). Alvinegro won the matches against Colo-Colo and Guarani, both by 2-1 scores, in the round of 16 and preliminary stage of 2018 and 2020, respectively, but were eliminated due to the away goals rule.

On the other hand, the longest winless streak in the international competition at Neo Química Arena happened between the 2022 and 2023 editions. During that time, Corinthians recorded three losses (Flamengo, Argentino Jrs, and Independiente Del Valle-EQU) and two draws (Always Ready and Boca Juniors). Until the end of the 2026 group stage, Alvinegro will face Peñarol (Uruguay) and Platense (Argentina) in Itaquera.

After the victory in the second round of the Libertadores, Corinthians now turns its focus to the continuation of the Brazilian Championship, looking to break an eight-match winless run in the competition. Next Saturday (18), at 8 p.m. (Brasília time), Alvinegro will visit Vitória at Barradão Stadium in a match valid for the 12th round of the national tournament. Timão will look for a win after eight matches in the competition, as it sits only in 16th place with 11 points – two wins, five draws, and four losses – eight goals scored and 11 conceded.
