Outstanding performance
Estudiantes•DefenderCorinthians dominated possession with 56% and completed nearly 470 passes, but they lacked the cutting edge to convert control into goals, managing just two shots on target across the ninety minutes. Estudiantes, by contrast, absorbed pressure for long stretches, committing 22 fouls to disrupt Corinthians' rhythm, before Alexis Castro produced the decisive moment in the 87th minute, slotting home from the center of the box after a scrappy sequence of free kicks and fouls in the build-up. The visitors' resilience paid off on aggregate, overturning the tie 2-1 despite losing the second leg 1-0, sending Corinthians out of the competition at home. For Estudiantes this result validates their cup pedigree and keeps their continental ambitions alive, while Corinthians will be left to rue their inability to turn territorial dominance into a real breakthrough when it mattered most.
