Corinthians needed to win on Argentine soil to not depend on a slip-up from América de Cali.
They faced a Huracán that – with an eye on the Apertura final in Argentina – preserved nine of its starting players in its starting lineup.
But TimĂŁo didn't even do its part: it lost 1-0 and is ELIMINATED from the Copa Sudamericana.
It even got classified during the unexpected partial defeat of the Colombian team against Racing.
But it was left out after AmĂ©rica – which won only one game in Group C – scored the 1-1 goal in the 95th minute.
This elimination comes after Corinthians was already left out of the Libertadores group stage.
Check out the best moments of the match soon.
Had the ball, but…
Corinthians had more possession in the first half.
But it found it difficult to create chances against a well-positioned opponent.
It was a more "fought" than "played" game before halftime.
The best chance of the first half was Sequeira's, who was frustrated by Hugo Souza.
TimĂŁo only posed a real threat when MartĂnez was in a good position, but he was isolated.
Huracán scores, unexpected goal and tension and… ELIMINATION!
Dorival bet on Talles Magno for the second half.
But he saw Huracán being lethal before the second minute.
Recovered and without playing for two months, Garro was called up before expected.
Corinthians needed to at least tie, since América de Cali was also stumbling.
Garro's entry – back after two months – gave new life to TimĂŁo. With the right to the Argentine midfielder almost scoring a free kick.
And then the unexpected happened in Colombia.
After a completely wrong exit by goalkeeper Soto, Fonseca scored for Racing – which was completely dominated.
TimĂŁo complained about a penalty on Garro. And kept trying.
At the same time that América de Cali was struggling against its crowd against the great performance of Amade and his teammates.
A struggle that would be rewarded in the 95th minute, when the Corinthians game had already ended.
Jean Pestaña was the hero of Cali. And the executioner of Corinthians.
FINAL situation of the key đź“Š
Huracán was already classified. And guaranteed first place – and a direct spot in the round of 16 – by scoring 14 points.
América de Cali suffered, but scored a point against Racing, celebrated Corinthians' defeat, and advanced.
It scored the same eight points, but advances to the playoffs with a better goal difference (two against zero).
Sunday (1st), TimĂŁo will host VitĂłria at Neo QuĂmica Arena.
Game for the 11th round of the BrasileirĂŁo – the last one before the World Cup break.
