See the results of the day in the Libertadores and South American Cups

Famous for his clowning on the field, Deyverson managed to draw laughs from one crowd: that of Velez Sarsfield (ARG). With a serious mistake by the striker, the Argentine team managed to score the goal that sealed Fortaleza's elimination in the round of 16 of the Libertadores this Tuesday (19). Another Brazilian to play tonight, São Paulo beat Atlético Nacional (COL) on penalties and also remains in the competition.

WHAT WERE THE RESULTS OF TODAY'S GAMES?

In Brazil, Fortaleza and Velez were at a 0-0 draw. However, the Northeastern team's hope in the Libertadores ended early in Argentina. Just seven minutes in, Carrizo opened the scoring. Later, at 28’, Deyverson made a careless mistake in his own half, the ‘hermanos’ took advantage and Galván sealed the match.

At Morumbi, it was very balanced. André Silva opened the scoring for São Paulo just three minutes in, and Alfredo Morelos equalized at 25’ of the second half for Atlético Nacional. As the first leg ended 0-0, the qualifier was decided on penalties, and the Brazilian team came out on top.

Finally, in Argentina, Racing took the lead, but Peñarol equalized. As the Uruguayans won the first leg, the qualification was on track with the 1-1. However, in the final moments, in an exciting turn, the hosts clinched the qualification, with goals at 38 and 49 minutes of the final stage. Therefore, the blue and white team continues in the Copa Libertadores da América and will face Velez in the quarterfinals. It's important to note that, should Mengão continue to advance, the opponent in the semifinals will come from this match.

AND THE SOUTH AMERICAN?

If balance and emotion marked the games of the Libertadores, the South American was more predictable. Fluminense, who had already won away, beat América de Cali again, this time at Maracanã. The same happened with Once Caldas, who achieved 100% against Huracan. Finally, Munshuc Runa won 2-1 against Del Valle, conceding a goal in the tenth minute of stoppage time. With the aggregate draw, the dispute went to penalties, and Del Valle advanced.

AND FLAMENGO?

Now, Flamengo hopes to advance to the quarterfinals of the Libertadores of America this Wednesday (20), at Beira-Rio, against Internacional. The ball rolls from 21:30 (Brasília time), with full coverage from Coluna do Fla. As they won the first leg 1-0, a draw is enough for qualification.
