Corinthians - Estudiantes
Corinthians and Estudiantes resume quarter-final battle
Corinthians host Estudiantes on 17 September 2026 for the second leg of their Copa Libertadores quarter-final. With the aggregate score locked at 1-1 following the first leg on 10 September 2026, both sides enter this decisive encounter with everything to play for. The history between these clubs remains tight, echoing their previous two-legged meeting in the Copa Sudamericana during August 2023, where the sides traded 1-0 victories.
Recent form suggests both teams are searching for consistency as they navigate a challenging schedule. Corinthians arrive following a narrow 2-1 defeat to Flamengo in league play, aiming to recapture the defensive solidity that helped them overcome Rosario Central in the previous round. Meanwhile, Estudiantes head into this match buoyed by a 2-1 victory over Club Atletico Platense. With the aggregate level, the pressure is on both squads to find a breakthrough that will secure a place in the semi-finals.
