Copa Libertadores: Vélez and Racing in the quarter-final draw | OneFootball

El Fortín and the Academy advanced to the next round and will face each other. Here's how the tournament continues.

The round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores began to take shape and Vélez was the first to qualify for the quarter-finals: the Barros Schelotto team won 2-0 against Fortaleza, under a downpour. And now, they will face Racing, who turned the series around against Peñarol by winning 3-1 in a dramatic fashion: they will first play in Liniers and the return match will be in Avellaneda. This Tuesday, also, São Paulo eliminated Atlético Nacional on penalties (now, they will play against Liga de Quito or Botafogo).

This Wednesday, Estudiantes will host Cerro Porteño after the very good 1-0 they achieved in Paraguay (in the quarter-finals they will face Flamengo or Inter de Porto Alegre - Mengao won the first leg 1-0 at home-).

On Thursday, finally, River will host Libertad after the 0-0 in Asunción: the winner will likely face Palmeiras, who awaits Universitario after the 4-0 in Lima.
