After this result, Timão closed the first phase of the competition in the second position of Group E with nine points, one less than the leader Boca Juniors (Argentina), who beat Deportivo Cali (Colombia) 1-0 this Thursday.
Pushed by more than 39 thousand fans, Corinthians opened the scoring in the 18th minute of the first half, when Giuliano found Adson, who scored with a cavadinha. However, before the break, at 43, the Bolivians tied in a move in which Bambu failed and Gustavo Torres played for Borja, who did not forgive.
