Meanwhile, Talleres were favored by Flamengo’s win against U. Católica and, in their draw against Sporting Cristal, they sealed the classification a day early.
In any case, T, with a poor performance in the League Cup, could not aim to reach first place, which was already left in the hands of Mengao. It closes with Chile with the sole goal to win to be in a better position in seconds.
The panorama of Colón is different. He is the leader with a two point advantage against Cerro Porteño and needs to beat Peñarol to maintain the lead without relying on anyone. In case they fail to score three points, they have to hope that the Paraguayan team does not win the classic against Olimpia, who are looking to move the azulgrana to third place.

South American: two eliminated and two one step away from qualification
Banfield and Defensa y Justicia are the only two Argentine teams with no possibility of advancing internationally. For the South American Cup, Drill and Halcón won just 1 of their 5 PJs and were left without chances. In contrast, Racing and Lanús have a good chance of making it into the top 16.
It was enough for Fernando Gago’s crew with a draw against River Plate (U), which had already been removed, to get into the next stage, although they also he could qualify by losing his fight if Melgar didn’t beat Cuiabá.
Garnet’s situation is a bit more stringent. He’s level with points Barcelona of Guayaquilbut has an advantage on goal, and will face the Metropolitanos, the weakest in the group, while the Ecuadorian team visits Montevideo Wandererswhich keeps the hope of continuing to move forward.
What does Lanus need?
- Win and Barcelona don’t do it.
- Win by goal difference equal to or greater than Barcelona.
- Tie and let Barcelona tie.

Independent and Union, all or nothing
the
theIndependiente left a very good image in their last match against the Copa Sudamericana. He beat La Guaira 4-0 to Libertadores de América, but left with a feeling he had no intention of reaching the final date more calmly. And he can do it, because he kicked Carlos Olses ’goal 40 times and wasted a lot of clear options.
Now, the Red will be defined as a local one-on-one against Ceará, who beat them on opening day, and the outlook is very clear. Eduardo Domínguez’s team will surely win by two goal differences. There is no second alternative or result in another court that can help him.

The case of the Union is almost identical. He refers to Junior, whom he will visit next Thursday. Tatengue should take three points from Colombia, no matter how many goals you record. If he keeps the win, he qualifies, otherwise he is eliminated.
