It is the second team already guaranteed through, after Independiente Rivadavia in Group C, the one where current bottom side Fluminense plays.

Corinthians reached ten points by drawing with Independiente Santa Fe on Wednesday (6) and then started rooting against Peñarol.

The Uruguayan side went ahead against Platense in front of its home crowd, but was held to a 1-1 draw.

It moved to two points and, like Santa Fe, can no longer catch Fernando Diniz’s team.

Timão will still visit Peñarol itself (21/5) before hosting Santa Fe (27/5).
