Guaraní hold the upper hand against Corinthians after claiming a 2-0 win in their home leg of the Copa Libertadores’ last 16 on Wednesday.
Second-half goals from Federico Santander and Alberto Contrera lifted the Paraguayan hosts to victory in Asunción. Guaraní were unable to impact the scoreboard during the opening half but scored twice after the break, firstly through Santander, who benefited from a goalkeeping howler on the hour-mark. Contrera put the result beyond doubt with eight minutes remaining after directing a shot across Cássio using the outside of his left boot.
