Deyverson knocks out Fortaleza, São Paulo scrape through Libertadores | OneFootball

See the results of the day in the Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana

Famous for making jokes on the field, Deyverson managed to make the Velez Sarsfield (ARG) crowd laugh. With a serious mistake by the striker, the Argentine team scored the goal that sealed Fortaleza's elimination in the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores this Tuesday (19). Another Brazilian team to play tonight, São Paulo beat Atlético Nacional (COL) on penalties and also remains alive in the competition.

WHAT WERE THE RESULTS OF TODAY'S GAMES?

In Brazil, Fortaleza and Velez drew 0-0. However, the northeastern team's hopes in the Copa Libertadores ended early in Argentina. Just seven minutes in, Carrizo opened the scoring. Later, at 28', Deyverson made a careless mistake in the defensive field, and the 'hermanos' took advantage, with Galván sealing the deal.

At the Morumbi, it was very even. André Silva opened the scoring for São Paulo just three minutes in, and Alfredo Morelos tied the game at 25' in the second half for Atlético Nacional. Since the first leg ended 0-0, the qualified team was decided on penalties, and the Brazilian team came out on top.

Finally, in Argentina, Racing took the lead but suffered a draw from Peñarol. Since the Uruguayans won the first leg, the classification was on track with the 1-1 draw. However, in the final minutes, the home team dramatically snatched the classification, with goals in the 38th and 49th minutes of the final half. Thus, the blue and white team remains in the Copa Libertadores da América and will face Velez in the quarterfinals. It's worth noting that if Mengão advances, this match will determine the semifinal opponent.

AND THE COPA SUDAMERICANA?

If balance and excitement marked the Copa Libertadores games, the Copa Sudamericana was more predictable. Fluminense, who had already won away from home, beat América de Cali again, this time at the Maracanã. The same happened with Once Caldas, who achieved 100% against Huracan. Finally, Munshuc Runa beat Del Valle 2-1, conceding a goal in the 10th minute of stoppage time. With the aggregate score tied, the match went to penalties, and Del Valle advanced.

AND FLAMENGO?

Now, Flamengo waits to advance to the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores da América this Wednesday (20), at the Beira-Rio, against Internacional. The match kicks off at 21:30 (Brasília time), with full coverage from Coluna do Fla. Since they won the first leg 1-0, a draw is enough for qualification.
