Corinthians seek first-ever winning run in Libertadores against Santa Fe | OneFootball

Corinthians take the field this Wednesday (6) against Independiente Santa Fe of Colombia with a chance to reach an unprecedented milestone in their Copa Libertadores history. If they win at El Campín Stadium, the black-and-white club will achieve the longest winning streak in its history in the continental competition.

The team coached by Fernando Diniz comes into the match riding a wave of four straight wins in the tournament, matching Corinthians’ best streaks in the 2010 and 2015 editions. The current run began back in the 2025 Libertadores preliminary round, when Timão beat Barcelona de Guayaquil of Ecuador 2-0. In this season’s group stage, the club kept up the momentum by beating Platense of Argentina away from home, in addition to defeating Independiente Santa Fe and Peñarol, both at Neo Química Arena, each time by a score of 2-0.

In addition to the positive streak, Corinthians also maintain a 100% record in Libertadores Group E. So far, they have earned nine points from three matches and hold sole possession of first place in the group.

Streak could surpass the 2010 and 2015 campaigns

Before the current campaign, Corinthians’ highest number of consecutive Libertadores wins had happened on two occasions.

In 2010, Timão put together four straight wins against Cerro Porteño, Racing-URU, and Independiente Medellín. In 2015, they matched the mark by beating São Paulo, San Lorenzo, and Danubio, the latter in two consecutive meetings. Now, the black-and-white side is looking to turn the current run into the longest in the club’s history in the South American competition.
