Tonight is competing for the first two games of the quarterfinals in the Copa Libertadores, a tournament that has run out of favorite after removal Last year's champion, International, which fell unexpectedly at home against Peñarol, who took their chances in Porto Alegre to turn around the party.
Equally surprising was the elimination of Cruzeiro, form team in the championship with 20 goals scored and only one against during the group stage. Also in the first leg of round had beaten 1-2 in field of Once Caldas. However, in the way the team did not show their level and saw the Colombians won by 0-2, goals that came after the hour mark, when both were in the field with ten players.
Another team considered favorite for his recent performances in continental tournaments was Liga de Quito, which fell by an overall result of 5-0 against Velez, with a 0-2 in the White House stage reflected not seen on the field but still an achievement for the Argentine team. The party said the young Ricardo Alvarez, who scored the first goal in which he shows his enormous talent.
Thus, perhaps the very Velez, current leader in the Clausura, and Santos, finalist in the Paulista championship, are the rivals to beat. However a forecast seems impossible, so you have to follow the progress of each game as the playoffs to see who is best handled in these final rounds.
teams that open tonight will be the quarter-finals Peñarol and Catholic University game in which the Uruguayans will have the audience's warmth Centenario stadium to beat some Chileans were already shown to Gremio that are capable of winning on the road. Martinucci, Aguiar, Pratt on visitors will be interesting to follow men.
Then comes the showdown between Once Caldas and Santos, with the significant decline in the overall Brazilian Goose after a muscle injury he suffered Sunday against Corinthians. Renteria Moreno and especially try to beat the Saints trailed far more fierce since Ramalho sits on the bench. As shown in the tie against America, in which not a single goal conceded. And In Brazil, goalkeeper Rafael also won three games unbeaten, with major rivals like Sao Paulo, Corinthians and also Ponte Preta, with which we began this winning streak.
Tomorrow will be the turn for Vélez y Libertad, one of the most attractive playoffs especially after the punch that showed the Paraguayans to a 3-0 defeat to Fluminense and turn the eliimnatoria. The players would mostly emphasize Tank Silva, if he recovers from his injury, the aforementioned Alvarez Cubero or Moralez. Freedom by Gamarra but not through their best moment is always a player to watch.
In the last heat will face the Jaguars and Cerro Buenos Aires, two of the revelations that after eliminating Junior with a goal in the final moments of Andrade by Mexican and after the success from the spot to students of all trained by Astrada, look for the semi-finals, a round which probably not even dreamed of at the beginning of the competition. Jaguars Jackson noted in Martinez, a Colombian who scored two goals in the match in Barranquilla and Manso, who was surprisingly the same match from the bench. For its part Cerro Porteño comes with one of the promises of South American football, Argentine Iturbe and Nanni, one of the greatest scorers of the Libertadores.
