Corinthians earned an important draw against Independiente Santa Fe of Colombia on Wednesday night (6), in the fourth round of the 2026 Conmebol Libertadores group stage. At El Campín Stadium, Timão drew 1-1 and remained top of Group E, now with ten points.

The man responsible for securing the away result was Gustavo Henrique. The center-back showed up in attack to score Corinthians’ equalizer and, once again, proved decisive in key moments while wearing the club’s shirt.

Despite playing in defense, Gustavo Henrique has been piling up important goal contributions since joining the club. Between assists, goals and decisive plays, the defender has already contributed directly in different competitions, including the Brazilian Championship, Copa do Brasil, Paulista Championship, Libertadores and Supercopa.

His performance against Santa Fe was another chapter in that run. The No. 13 found the net again in a Libertadores match just days after scoring against Peñarol at Neo Química Arena.

In addition to his recent goals in the continental tournament, Gustavo Henrique also played an important role in the win over Santa Fe in the first meeting of the group stage, when he assisted Raniele for the opener and also scored the team’s second goal.

The defender has also been involved in memorable Corinthians matches over the last few seasons. In 2025, for example, he scored against Palmeiras in the Copa do Brasil in a 2-0 win, and also found the net against Vasco, Grêmio and Botafogo in the Brazilian Championship.

In 2026, before the clash in Colombia, Gustavo Henrique had also played a direct role in the Supercopa title by assisting Gabriel Paulista in the win over Flamengo.
