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.
