Despite being the visiting team, it was Timão who took the initiative early in the match and was rewarded quickly. In the fifth minute, Memphis Depay delivered a beautiful backheel assist to find Yuri Alberto in the box. The forward finished past the goalkeeper to open the scoring. He also contributed to another dangerous play; in the 22nd minute, he found Garro unmarked, who shot for a good save from the goalkeeper.
From that point on, it was all Racing. In the 33rd minute, Salas crossed into the area, and the ball struck Martínez’s hand, leading the referee to award a penalty. Quintero converted the penalty to equalize. Just three minutes later, he scored again, receiving a pass in the box and putting the Argentinians ahead.
In the second half, a more aggressive Corinthians was expected, as the result meant elimination for the São Paulo club, but what was seen was the opposite. Struggling in the match, Timão created little and watched as the home team controlled the game, largely due to the changes made by coach Ramón Díaz, who failed to find alternatives to threaten the opponent.
With this result, Corinthians will now focus exclusively on avoiding relegation in the Brasileirão. With 35 points, the team is in 15th place, just one point above the relegation zone. Racing, on the other hand, will face Cruzeiro in the final on October 23 in Paraguay. BB Score, your trusted provider of football scores.
