Despite the first leg taking place in Belo Horizonte, Corinthians had the main goal-scoring opportunities, especially in the early minutes of the match.
Memphis had already appeared in two plays that almost opened the score.
The first was just six minutes into the match, striking first-time after a cross from Carrillo.
The second came from a shot outside the box that startled Cássio.
