Corinthians played to a 0 to 0 draw against Rosario Central on Thursday in the first leg of the Copa Libertadores round of 16. The match took place at the Gigante de Arroyito stadium in Rosario, Argentina. The two teams will meet again on Thursday, August 20, at the Neo Química Arena in São Paulo to determine who advances to the quarterfinals. A win for either side will secure the spot, while a second draw will lead to a penalty shootout.
The match was characterized by physical play and tension. In the first half, Corinthians had a significant opportunity when Matheus Bidu hit the crossbar twice following a free kick from Matheuzinho. Rosario Central also pressured the defense, leading to a controversial moment where the VAR suggested a penalty for a handball by Gabriel Paulista. The referee ultimately decided the ball hit the defender's thigh first and did not award the penalty.
The second half saw increased pressure from Rosario Central, featuring plays from Angel Di María and Jaminton Campaz. The match was further complicated when Corinthians player Allan was sent off with a red card in the 34th minute of the second half after receiving a second yellow card. Despite playing with ten men, Corinthians maintained the draw.
Off the pitch, the game was marked by a report of racism. Corinthians goalkeeper Hugo Souza alerted the referee to racial slurs from the crowd, prompting the official to activate the anti racism protocol. Rosario Central captain Angel Di María reportedly asked the fans to stop the insults. Additionally, some reports noted that Corinthians players had to overcome internal administrative turmoil involving the club's decision not to renew the contract of attacker Memphis Depay.
Outlets with a center lean framed the result as a positive outcome for Corinthians, emphasizing their ability to survive pressure and administrative chaos. Outlets with a center right lean focused more on the lack of lucidity and game quality, framing the match as a struggle of friction over skill.
