Gustavo Henrique tops fan ratings as Corinthians beat Peñarol 2-0 in Libertadores | OneFootball

Corinthians beat Uruguay's Peñarol 2-0 in the Libertadores third round on Thursday, with centre-back Gustavo Henrique voted the standout by fans.

According to Meu Timao, votes in its Notas da Torcida gave Gustavo Henrique an average of nine point four after he opened the scoring and helped keep a clean sheet. Jesse Lingard, who netted the second, followed on nine point three, with Rodrigo Garro at eight point six.

André received the lowest mark, six point two, having missed a clear first-half chance that might have made it three. Breno Bidon on seven point five and Yuri Alberto on seven point seven were the only starters below eight, while substitute Kaio César led the bench with seven point seven.

Head coach Fernando Diniz matched Gustavo Henrique's nine point four, his best rating so far at Corinthians. Supporters on social media viewed this as the team's finest display under him.

The result keeps Timão top of Group E with a 100% record and nine points. Platense sit second on six, while Santa Fe and Peñarol have one each.
