Estudiantes de La Plata has advanced to the quarter-finals of the 2026 Copa Libertadores following a 3-0 victory over Universidad Católica in the second leg in Santiago, Chile. This result gives the Argentine side a 4-1 aggregate win after their initial 1-1 draw. Joaquín Correa opened the scoring in the 43rd or 44th minute with a strike from outside the area. In the second half, Guido Carrillo secured the win with two goals, scoring with a header in the 53rd minute and again in the 83rd minute. The Chilean side struggled in the absence of key players, including Fernando Zampedri, who was suspended due to yellow card accumulation. Following the victory, Estudiantes midfielder Ezequiel Piovi stated that the team’s recent performance has restored their confidence and confirmed the progress of their ongoing tactical process. Managed by Alexander Medina, Estudiantes now awaits the winner of the series between Corinthians and Rosario Central to determine their opponent in the next stage. Separately, Universidad Católica is facing a potential disciplinary probe from the ANFP. The club has been summoned to appear before the Disciplinary Tribunal following a complaint regarding the late accreditation of VAT (IVA) payments for June. The club maintains that the payment was made on the first available business day following the deadline, noting that the Internal Revenue Service does not always reflect transactions immediately.
