- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.

Corinthians secured a place in the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores with a 1 to 0 victory over Rosario Central on Thursday, August 20, at the Neo Química Arena in São Paulo. The result follows a 0 to 0 draw in the first leg played in Argentina. Breno Bidon scored the deciding goal in the 34th minute of the second half, finishing a play initiated by Memphis Depay. In the next round, Corinthians will face Estudiantes of Argentina.
The match was marked by significant tension. Corinthians played with ten men for a large portion of the second half after midfielder Raniele was sent off with a red card in the 12th minute for a foul on Enzo Copetti. The victory also ended a long scoring drought for Corinthians in the knockout stages of the tournament, which had lasted nearly eight years. The return of Memphis Depay was a focal point of the match, as he entered the game as a substitute in the 25th minute of the second half following a recently renewed contract.
Other Brazilian teams advancing to the quarterfinals include Flamengo, Palmeiras, and Fluminense. Meanwhile, Mirassol was eliminated by LDU Quito. The quarterfinal matchups will include Palmeiras against LDU and Fluminense against Platense. Flamengo will face either Tolima or Independiente del Valle, a series that was delayed due to earthquakes in Colombia.
