Brazilian clubs compete in Libertadores quarter-finals

Overview

The Copa Libertadores quarter-finals are underway, featuring high-stakes matchups for Brazilian clubs Corinthians and Palmeiras.

In the matchup between Palmeiras and LDU Quito, Palmeiras secured a 1-0 victory in the first leg at Nubank Parque on September 9, 2026. Argentine defender Agustín Giay scored the decisive goal in the 26th minute with a header following a rebound from a Vitor Roque shot that was parried by LDU goalkeeper Gonzalo Valle. While Palmeiras dominated possession with 22 total shots, the narrow margin leaves the tie open. Following the match, Palmeiras captain Gustavo Gómez reached a milestone by recording his 118th home victory for the club, moving into sixth place on the club’s all-time home wins list. LDU Quito will host the second leg on September 16 at the Estadio Rodrigo Paz Delgado, where the high altitude of approximately 2,850 meters presents a challenge. Palmeiras faces roster complications for the return leg, as Gómez is suspended due to yellow card accumulation, and attacker Paulinho is managing a training injury.

Meanwhile, Corinthians traveled to Argentina to face Estudiantes de La Plata at the Estadio Jorge Luis Hirschi for the first leg, resulting in a 1-1 draw. Estudiantes took an early lead in the 3rd or 4th minute through Alexis Castro, following a header by Guido Carrillo. Corinthians responded in the second half, with Kaio César equalizing in the 49th minute following an assist from Rodrigo Garro. The match was characterized by high tension and numerous fouls. Corinthians goalkeeper Hugo Souza made several critical saves in the closing minutes to preserve the draw. The second leg is scheduled for September 16 at the Neo Química Arena, where Corinthians needs only a win to advance, while a draw would lead to a penalty shootout.
