Three Libertadores round-of-16 ties on Tuesday 18 | OneFootball

The Copa Libertadores knockout stage continues on Tuesday 18, with two round-of-16 second legs and a rescheduled first leg, all times Brasília time. According to Coluna Do Fla, three ties headline the evening’s schedule.

Independiente Rivadavia face Fluminense at 19:00 at Estádio Malvinas Argentina in Mendoza, live on ESPN and Disney+. Universidad Católica host Estudiantes at 21:30 at Estádio San Carlos de Apoquindo in Santiago, live on ESPN 4 and Disney+.

Fluminense arrive after an upheaval, coach Zubeldía was sacked following the 0-0 first leg, with interim Marcão stepping in and overseeing Saturday’s 3-2 win against Palmeiras. Independiente Rivadavia rested regulars in the league and lost 2-0 to Belgrano, and have two wins in their last five matches.

The first meeting ended 1-1, another draw would take the tie to penalties, with the winner advancing. Since the first leg, Universidad Católica have had no domestic fixture, while Estudiantes beat Gimnasia 4-0 in an Argentine Clausura derby.

Tolima host Independiente del Valle at Estádio Manuel Murillo Toro in Ibagué, with exclusive streaming on Paramount+. The tie was rearranged after a magnitude 7.4 earthquake struck Colombia on 10 August, and the winners will face Flamengo or Cruzeiro in the quarter-finals.

Flamengo play Cruzeiro in their return leg on Wednesday 19 at the Maracanã from 21:30, aiming for the quarter-finals. The first match finished 1-1, so penalties will follow if it is level again.
