Libertadores today: Fluminense, Estudiantes and 2 more in action | OneFootball

Two matches will be played in the first leg of the Libertadores round of 16 this Tuesday (11)

The ball will start rolling in the knockout stage of the Copa Libertadores de América. This Tuesday (11), two matches will be played in the first leg of the continental competition’s round of 16.

WHICH LIBERTADORES MATCHES ARE ON THIS TUESDAY?

Fluminense and Independiente Rivadavia face off starting at 7:00 PM (Brasília time) at the Maracanã. The two teams met in the tournament’s group stage and now go head-to-head for a place in the quarterfinals. ESPN (pay TV) and Disney+ (streaming) will broadcast the match.

Fluminense were in Libertadores Group C and finished the group stage in second place. Independiente Rivadavia, meanwhile, arrive in Rio de Janeiro after posting the best record in the same group.

Going through an unstable spell and under heavy pressure, the Rio tricolor side takes the field trying to overcome its recent lack of goals and poor attacking form. However, the scenario becomes even more challenging given that Rivadavia is seen as one of the biggest surprises in Argentine football in 2026. After all, the team has already shown it can trouble Brazilian sides by beating Fluminense themselves at the Maracanã during the group stage.

WHAT ABOUT ESTUDIANTES AND UNIVERSIDAD CATÓLICA?

Estudiantes and Universidad Católica take the field at 9:30 PM (Brasília time). The match will be played at Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium in Argentina, with live coverage on ESPN (pay TV) and Disney+ (streaming).

Estudiantes secured qualification in second place, losing only once, a 1-0 defeat to Flamengo. Universidad Católica, meanwhile, topped the group, finishing the opening stage of the competition with 13 points and four wins.

AND FLAMENGO?

Flamengo’s journey toward a fifth Libertadores title will continue this Wednesday (12). At Mineirão, the red-and-black side will face Cruzeiro in the first leg of the round of 16, looking to gain an advantage in the tie for a place in the quarterfinals. Kickoff is at 9:30 PM (Brasília time).

Coluna do Fla, as tradition dictates, will be in Belo Horizonte, with reporters Rock Hudson and Rodrigo Lima. The most red-and-black coverage on the internet will take place across three platforms: YouTube, website, and social media.
