Find out what Corinth must do to be the leader of her group in the Libertadores

Corinthians tied Deportivo Cali on Wednesday night, away from home, and Completed the first part of the mission to qualify for the Copa Libertadores da America. Now, Alvinegra’s goal is to strive to lead Group E in the competition in the remaining two games – and My dream Explains how.

With a seven-point win, the team is guaranteed a place in the next stage regardless of the outcome in the Bombonera, because a win over Always Ready, in Itaquera, is what it takes. The problem is that after losing in Argentina, the club will not be second.

The only possibility to go first in this scenario is that Boca Juniors and Deportivo Cali draw the Bombonera, in the last round, and Timao will defeat the Bolivians by the difference necessary to overcome the Boca balance. Nothing is impossible, but totally depends on the other game. It is good to point out: A home win against Always Ready is a must in any scenario.

However, the variant is related to the confrontation on the 17th, in Bombonera, and the scenario is presented to Corinthians fans in this way.

Victory in Bombonera

A win in the Bombonera gives Timão a place in the next stage and the possibility to advance even with a draw against Always Ready, in the final round. Counting three points each in duels and home victories in other matches, this will be the final rating.

Draw in Bombonera

Tie in Bombonera The Corinthians are left in good shape in this conflict. The club will go to at least the last round tied with Deportivo Cali at the top, and only need to make a difference in the balance of the Colombians. In addition, the Boca-Cali match will be played in Argentina.

Considering the team’s worst-case scenario, the decision would be due to goal difference, with Corinthians needing to make a difference in the score against Always Reddy by one goal in terms of Kale’s potential victories over Always and Boca. .

Example? If the results are minimal:

• Deportivo Cali 1×0 is always ready
• Boca Juniors 0 x 1 Deportivo Cali
• Kali adds 6 points and +2 credits

Corinthians will need to beat Always Reddy by three goals in Itakera – one more than the Colombians have made.. Following this model, one goal is added to Corinthians’ commitment for every goal Kale scored in his remaining two games. The table will look like this:

Another possibility, and perhaps the most probable one, is that Deportivo Cali beat Always Reddy and, in the last game in Argentina, not defeat Boca Juniors. In the case of Argentina Winning inside your home¹ or time²a simpler Corinthian account: Beating Always Ready guarantees the lead. The two possible tables in this scenario would be as follows:

1

two

The last and most likely scenario is Always Reddy scoring in Colombia against Deportivo Cali. in it, A victory over Always Ready at Itaquera would also be enough for Timão to secure the top of his group with peace of mind..

Defeat at Bombonera

In the event of a setback in the Bombonera, Only one scenario would leave the leadership within the reach of Corinth.: A draw between Boca Juniors and Deportivo Cali at the Bombonera, accompanied by a mandatory repeat win over Always Reddy in Itaqueira. In addition, the goal difference must be greater than or equal to the setback in Argentina.

in another meaning, If Boca lose 1-0, Corinthians will need a simple win to advance to first place – In addition to a tie between competitors. If the setback is 2-0, the Timão should have made at least a two-goal difference against the Bolivians. And so on.
