Pedro Carioca, Jonathan, Murilo, and Vini scored two goals each, with Alejandro Nazareno scoring an own goal.

Corinthians 1-1 Delta Te Quiero

As both teams already qualified for the second stage, this one was more about prestige and a battle for first place in Group B. However, the match ended in a 1-1 draw. Corinthians qualifies as the first in group, while Venezuelan Delta Te Quiero qualifies as second to the quarterfinals.

Carlos Sanz opened the scoring for Delta Te Quiero, but Daniel "Batalha" equalized for Corinthians and set the final score of the match.
