See the updated draws for the Libertadores and Copa Sul-Americana 🆚 | OneFootball

It was a Thursday (21st) with five matches for the return leg of the Copa Libertadores and the Sudamericana round of 16.

These matches stirred up the brackets of both competitions.

Only the classification of Independiente versus Universidad de Chile remains to be decided, for the Sudamericana.

The return match was suspended after several episodes of violence and confusion in Avellaneda on the night of last Wednesday (20th).

The Chilean team won the first leg (1-0) and was drawing on Argentine soil (1-1).

Conmebol will still make a decision.

LDU 'intruder' and only champions

By eliminating the current champion Botafogo, LDU prevented the Libertadores quarter-finals from having only teams from Brazil and Argentina.

The Argentinians lead with four representatives, against three from Brazil.

It's the first time since the 2018 edition that Argentina doesn't have such a number of teams among the top eight.

Meanwhile, River Plate ensured that only champion teams remained alive in the Libertadores by overcoming Libertad.

The mission of the Argentine quartet and LDU is to prevent Brazilian football from winning the tournament for the seventh consecutive time.

A new Brazilian title would make the country equal to Argentine football in the number of victories: 25.
