Já há duas semifinalistas confirmadas na CONMEBOL Libertadores Feminina 2026: Independiente Santa Fe e Corinthians resolveram seus cruzamentos de quartas no Banco Guayaquil e agora se enfrentam na quarta-feira, 28 de outubro, por um lugar na Final.
As colombianas protagonizaram uma virada de alta voltagem: perdiam por 0-2 para o Palmeiras, empataram no fim e avançaram nos pênaltis. Jimena Ospina foi a figura com duas defesas na disputa, e Kelly Ibargüen converteu a cobrança decisiva.
O Palmeiras golpeou primeiro, com um chute de longe de Brena Carolina. O Santa Fe buscou o empate, mas Natascha manteve a vantagem brasileira até o intervalo; depois do reinício, Raíssa Bahia ampliou e parecia encaminhar a classificação do time de Rosana Augusto.
A reação veio aos 69 minutos: Mariana Zamorano descontou após um cruzamento de Katherine Valbuena, e a minutos do fim a camisa sete do time deu o escanteio que Juana Ortegón cabeceou para o 2-2. Nos pênaltis, Cristina Motta, Zamorano e Ibargüen acertaram e o Santa Fe venceu por 3-2.
Do outro lado, o Corinthians resolveu com um segundo tempo avassalador. Depois de 45 minutos sem gols contra o Independiente del Valle, o atual campeão venceu por 5-0 com gol de Duda Sampaio e dois gols de Vic Albuquerque e de Gabi Zanotti. Antes do intervalo, Nicole Charcopa havia marcado para as equatorianas, mas o gol foi anulado por impedimento; do lado brasileiro, uma ação de Belén Aquino também foi invalidada após a revisão do VAR.
A campanha é perfeita: quatro vitórias, 19 gols a favor e apenas um contra, com o terceiro jogo sem sofrer gol no torneio. Na Fase de Grupos havia superado o Colo-Colo (2-0), o Caracas (7-0) e o próprio Santa Fe (5-1).
Agora o reencontro com as colombianas terá prêmio maior. O Corinthians, campeão das últimas três edições, vai em busca da quarta consagração consecutiva e do sétimo título continental. Os outros dois cruzamentos das quartas de final, Deportivo Cali–Olimpia e Cruzeiro–Libertad, se completam no domingo, 25 de outubro, e definirão as protagonistas da outra semifinal.
No individual, Vic Albuquerque chegou a 24 gols na competição e ficou como terceira maior goleadora da história, acima de Ysaura Viso (23) e atrás apenas de Cristiane (29) e Cata Usme (34). No Santa Fe, Mariana Zamorano participou diretamente de seis dos oito gols da equipe nesta edição.
