Brazil’s “party” was not complete only because Cerro Porteño and Universidad Católica also beat Sporting Cristal and Boca Juniors, respectively, and advanced in first place in their groups.
That means everything is set for the draw organized by Conmebol at the entity’s headquarters in Luque, Paraguay, this Friday (29), starting at 12 p.m. (Brasília time), which will define the round-of-16 matchups in the Libertadores.
The teams that qualified in first place will be in Pot 1 and will face those in Pot 2, in other words, those who advanced as runners-up.
There are no restrictions whatsoever on the matchups, except that a team from Pot 1 must face one from Pot 2.
Flamengo was the overall top seed and will always play the second leg at home until the semifinals. The other Pot 1 teams will also play the return legs on their own ground.
The teams that finished in third place will play a playoff against the teams that finished second in their Sul-Americana groups to decide who advances to the round of 16 of that tournament.
