Memphis Depay successfully marked his return to Corinthians with a winning assist. This occurred in the match against Rosario Central, resulting in a spot in the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores for Corinthians.

Earlier this month, Depay left the club, but he signed a new contract on Tuesday. Just two days after signing, he was already back in action and played a crucial role in his team's victory.

Coach Fernando Diniz praised Depay after the match against Rosario Central, emphasizing that the Dutchman sees the world differently. Diniz's accolades highlight how important Depay is for the team in the current phase of the competition.

Corinthians is now assured of a position in the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores thanks to Depay's performance. His role as the all-time top scorer for the Dutch national team underscores his value to the squad.
