Corinthians no longer have a 100% record in this year’s Libertadores, but they left El Campín stadium with reason to celebrate this Wednesday (6).Timão drew 1-1 with Santa Fe thanks to a goal deep...

Corinthians may have lost their perfect Libertadores record, but they left BogotĂĄ's El CampĂ­n stadium with a hard-fought point and plenty of drama on Wednesday night.

TimĂŁo snatched a dramatic 1-1 draw against Santa Fe deep into second-half stoppage time, keeping their unbeaten run alive in South America's premier club competition.

The match looked to be slipping away from the Brazilian side when veteran striker Hugo Rodallega broke the deadlock early in the second half. The Colombian forward, a familiar face across South American football, found the net to put the home side in control.

Corinthians struggled to create clear-cut chances for much of the game, with their attack failing to click against a stubborn Santa Fe defense. But just when it seemed the visitors would suffer their first defeat of the campaign, center-back Gustavo Henrique rose to the occasion.

In the dying moments of added time, Matheuzinho delivered a pinpoint cross into the box. Gustavo Henrique met it perfectly, powering a header past the helpless Santa Fe goalkeeper to spark wild celebrations from the traveling Corinthians contingent.

The result keeps Corinthians unbeaten in the group stage, though they'll need to sharpen their attack in future matches to maintain their push for knockout-round qualification.
