Corinthians were knocked out of the Copa Libertadores last night by Paraguayan outfit Guaraní, going down 1-0 at home to lose 3-0 on aggregate.
Tite’s side left themselves a mountain to climb with a 2-0 defeat in Ascuncion last week, and their players’ indiscipline made the task even harder yesterday as both Fábio Santos and Jádson were red carded, leaving the hosts with just nine men on the field.
Even with 11 men the Timão had been unable to find any way through a stubborn Paraguayan defence and, to add insult to injury, they conceded a third goal in second-half stoppage time from substitute Fernando Fernandez
Corinthians will now look to get back to winning ways as they host Chapecoense on Sunday in the Brasileirão.
