Corinthians and Boca Juniors brought back icons from their 2012 Copa Libertadores final for a celebratory friendly at São Paulo’s Pacaembu on Saturday, drawing 1–1 before a capacity crowd. Former Boca forward Pablo Mouche opened the scoring with a delicate chip over goalkeeper Júlio César midway through the first half. Full-back Fábio Santos levelled from the penalty spot after the interval, beating Roberto Abbondanzieri to preserve the stalemate. The match featured several other retired standouts, including midfielders Walter Erviti and Danilo and defender Aníbal Matellán, and was streamed globally on Disney’s ESPN platforms. After the final whistle, Corinthians supporters serenaded ex-manager Tite—who guided the club to its only Libertadores title 13 years ago—fueling speculation about a possible return. The evening underscored the enduring appeal of the 2012 classic while giving fans a nostalgic look at some of South America’s most memorable football personalities.
