At Arena Castelão, Deyverson's antics drew attention. With Fortaleza in crisis, the forward made the traditional move of pulling his leg in front of the opponent. Outraged, the home team supporters started shouting “clown.”

In Colombia, São Paulo faced a tough time. This is because Atlético Nacional hit the post twice, one of them with Marlos Moreno, a former Flamengo player, who was named the man of the match by the Libertadores. Additionally, the hosts managed the feat of missing two penalties, both by Edwin Cardona. In the first, the forward shot wide. In the second, goalkeeper Rafael made the save.

Furthermore, Peñarol and Racing ended 1-0 for the Uruguayans. Thus, the teams advancing to the quarter-finals will be determined next Tuesday (19), with Velez and São Paulo playing at home and needing simple victories to advance. Meanwhile, Peñarol can afford to draw in Argentina.
