The semi-final opponents will come from LDU and Palmeiras. Palmeiras won the first leg 1-0 at Nubank Parque. The decider is on Wednesday 16 at 19:00 Brasília time in Ecuador.

Flamengo carry a 2-0 first-leg lead after Thursday 10’s win in Quito, with goals from Bruno Henrique and Léo Pereira. They can lose by one goal in the return and still advance, a simple victory also seals progression. If Independiente del Valle repeat the 2-0 scoreline, the tie will be settled by penalties.
