The group stage of the Women's Libertadores It enters its final stretch and each game begins to define the destination of the teams. Only Railway has secured its classification to the quarterfinals, while in group A, Corinthians, Independiente del Valle Dragonas and Santa Fe The remaining two quotas are disputed. In this context, the 'lions' face an early final: overcome the current champion, Corinthians, to stay alive.

After a promising start with goleada sobre Always ReadySanta Fe stumbled on his second game against Independiente del Valle, result that complicated its panorama in the table. Now, the margin of error is null. Bogotanas need to win yes or yes to ensure their place among the eight best on the continent. A draw or defeat would leave them depending on an alien miracle.

The challenge, however, is not less. Corinthians not only arrives with greater margin – a draw is enough or even a defeat, provided that independent of the valley does not add – but also with a record that supports him every time he crosses with Santa Fe.

A rivalry marked by history

The duel between Bogotanas and Paulistas has a special weight in the recent history of the tournament. They have faced three times and, in all, Corinthians ended up raising the trophy. The first appointment was in 2017, in the group stage, when the Brazilians won 2-1 and left Santa Fe outside in the first round.

Four years later, in 2021, they met again in the final: Corinthians won and Santa Fe had to settle for the runner -up. The story was repeated in 2024, again with the same outcome. Three clashes, three Brazilian victories and three subsequent titles for the “Timao”. A statistic as eloquent as challenging.

For Santa Fe it represents the opportunity to break the trend, to beat Corinthians for the first time and, with it, write an unpublished chapter in his history Copera.

Those led by Omar Ramírez know that they will have a rival accustomed to dominate the tournament, but also trust the character that the team has shown when it is cornered. The 90 minutes will be a hierarchy, faith and strategy test: o classify, or say goodbye.

The mirror of other Colombian teams

Recent history also leaves examples that it is possible to overcome Corinthians. In 2022, Deportivo Cali succeeded in the group stage, with comeback included thanks to the goals of Ingrid Guerra and Tatiana Ariza. That result allowed them to advance as leaders in their area.

América de Cali, on the other hand, also measured the Brazilians in 2019 and 2020. On the first occasion they fell into the group stage, but in the second they tied in the semifinals and managed to eliminate them in the penalties, before falling in the final against Ferrovarian.

That mirror today serves as an incentive for Santa Fe, which loads with the weight of history, but also with intact illusion. A victory would not only mean the classification, but also to close an open wound for eight years and knock down, once and for all, the Brazilian domain over the Lions.
