Sudamericana lifeline: Brazilian giants edge toward knockouts with gritty win in Uruguay | OneFootball

Corinthians took a significant step toward securing a place in the knockout stages of the 2025 CONMEBOL Sudamericana with a 1-0 away victory against Racing-URU in Montevideo. The result keeps the Brazilian side firmly in the hunt for qualification, adding crucial points at a decisive phase of the group stage.

The match was characterized by Corinthians’ pragmatic approach and defensive organization, elements that have become hallmarks of their continental campaign this year. Playing away in Uruguay, the team maintained composure under pressure and capitalized on their chances, ultimately securing the narrow win.

Despite some inconsistencies in their domestic form, Corinthians’ result in Uruguay demonstrates their ability to adapt in high-stakes Sudamericana encounters. Integrating recent signings, the squad is still finding its optimal blend, but defensively the group has shown improvement, limiting Racing’s opportunities and maintaining a clean sheet.

While the match itself did not see Corinthians dominate possession or create a barrage of chances, the clinical nature of their performance suggests a side capable of managing the dynamic demands of international competition. As the Sudamericana group stage hits its final rounds, every point is vital, and this hard-fought away victory puts Corinthians in a stronger position to achieve their aim of advancing.

The club’s focus now turns to maintaining momentum both in the Sudamericana and in the domestic league. As the calendar grows more demanding, squad rotation and the integration of recent market additions could prove influential in sustaining Corinthians’ campaign on multiple fronts.

With just a few games remaining to decide passage out of the group, this win in Montevideo could ultimately prove decisive for Corinthians’ continental ambitions.
