It was a Thursday (21) with five games for the return of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores and the Copa Sudamericana.

They moved the key matches of both competitions. 

Only the definition of the classified team between Independiente and Universidad de Chile, for the Sudamericana, remains. 

The return match was suspended after several episodes of violence and confusion in Avellaneda on the night of the last Wednesday (20).

The Chilean team won in the first leg (1-0) and was drawing in Argentine soil (1-1). 

Conmebol will still make a decision.


LDU ‘intruder’ and only champions

By eliminating the current champion Botafogo, LDU avoided that the quarterfinals of the Libertadores would have only teams from Brazil and Argentina.

The Argentine teams lead with four representatives, against three from Brazil. 

River, on the other hand, ensured that only champion teams would continue alive in the Libertadores by beating Libertad. 

The mission of the Argentine quartet and LDU is to prevent Brazilian football from winning the tournament for the seventh consecutive time.

A new Brazilian title will make the country equal to Argentine football in the number of conquests: 25.
