OTD E0094 — 02 Feb 2011: Tolima Day — Corinthians, a Giant’s Collapse, and the Match That Ended Ronaldo

02 Feb 2011: Ibagué. In the pre-Libertadores play-off, Deportes Tolima stun Corinthians 2–0 (agg. 2–0) — goals by Danny Santoya and Wílder Medina — eliminating a Brazilian giant before the group stage. Corinthians had Ronaldo and Roberto Carlos, and the Libertadores was their obsession. Two weeks later, Ronaldo announces his retirement, and “Tolima Day” becomes folklore. Then comes the twist: Corinthians’ redemption in 2012 — their first Libertadores title, and the Club World Cup soon after.Ideas: [email protected]
