🎥 Corinthians leave fans on edge but win in Uruguay and stay in the fight
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇧🇷 here. It was win or win to go to the final round of Group C of the Copa Sudamericana with real chances of qualifying at least for the playoffs. This was the reality for Corinthians at the mythical Centenario on the night of Thursday (15). The performance left much to be desired in Uruguay. But Timão defeated the scoreless Racing Montevideo by 1 x 0. Thanks to a toe-poke finish. Check out the match highlights the good football? Timão's ball possession exceeded 70%. However, the choice of an alternative team without a natural midfielder (or two sharp wingers) made the ball work bureaucratic. Corinthians relied on flashes from their full-backs or the duo Romero and Talles Magno. The result was just one shot on target before halftime. Meanwhile, Racing justified their campaign: they were far from being aggressive. Changes and RELIEF Dorival decided to bet on Carillo, Coronado, and Yuri Alberto right at the start of the second half. Which was necessary given the scenario. The insistence was great - although not linked with quality. But the deserved goal for the team that was trying came. And thanks to Bidu, who toe-poked it in (74') Racing tried hard to earn their first point. But without creating real goal opportunities. Dorival renewed the energy with new substitutions and Corinthians remains alive. 📊 Standings and schedule 📅 Corinthians reached eight points, leaving América de Cali with seven. Huracán (11) leads. The final round will be held on the 27th. It will feature Huracán vs Corinthians and América de Cali vs Racing. The Argentine team has a significant advantage in goal difference: eight against one for Timão. In other words: only a black-and-white thrashing by at least four goals will put Dorival's team in 1st place. Winning - no matter by how much - will be crucial for the playoffs, as América is expected to defeat Racing. See the standings of all groups here. Timão will play again on Sunday (18), when they host Santos at Vila. Match for the ninth round of the Brasileirão. Then, on Wednesday (21), they will face Novorizontino. Return match for the third phase of the Copa do Brasil - they won 1 x 0 in the first leg. 📸 EITAN ABRAMOVICH - AFP or licensors

🎥 The oldest Clásico in the world is set for centre stage
One of football's greatest international rivalries is primed for centre stage tonight as Uruguay plays host to Argentina at Montevideo's Centenario for their World Cup Qualifying clash. While many fans view the South American footballing landscape as one dominated by Brazil as well as Argentina, Uruguay was the first true powerhouse on the continent, taking home the inaugural tournament as hosts in 1930 before securing their second in a post-Second World War climate in 1950. Since then, Argentina has come on leaps and bounds by comparison, with their latest tournament win in 2022 granting them a third start on their famous Albiceleste kit. But this is not just about tournament wins and overall gravitas, but a rivalry that is separated by 579km border which is marked by the Uruguay River.

China lithium tech export curbs may benefit Eramet, CEO says
PARIS, Feb 20 (Reuters) - Potential Chinese export restrictions on lithium extraction technology could create new opportunities for Eramet following its launch of lithium production in Argentina, the head of the French mining group said on Thursday. China has proposed restricting the export of technology to process lithium, widely used in batteries, in response to U.S. tariffs, and Reuters reported this week that one Chinese company has stopped exporting sorbents, a piece of equipment used in lithium processing. "So it will open potentially opportunities for Eramet," Chair and CEO Christel Bories said of Chinese export curbs during a presentation of Eramet's annual results. "We are considering potentially using our technologies and our patents on the sorbents to enter into new projects, providing the technology but also participating in equity." Eramet's Centenario project in Argentina started production in December and the group aims to reach a nominal annual capacity rate of 24,000 metric tons of lithium carbonate equivalent at the end of this year. Eramet is studying an expansion of the project but does not expect to commit further investments before next year, Bories added. Eramet is also in discussions in Chile to develop lithium deposits after securing a concession. The group remains upbeat on longer-term demand for lithium despite a drop in prices and expects the market to rebalance from next year following a period of oversupply, Bories said.
