Copa Libertadores and Sudamericana knockout stages

Overview

The knockout stages of the Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana remain disrupted following a 7.4 magnitude earthquake in western Colombia. The seismic event, which caused a national emergency with at least 111 deaths and 87 injuries, has prompted Conmebol to suspend two specific round of 16 matches: Deportes Tolima vs. Independiente del Valle in the Copa Libertadores and Independiente Santa Fe vs. River Plate in the Copa Sudamericana.

In addition to the international suspensions, the Colombian football governing body, Dimayor, has suspended nine matches within its domestic leagues due to the emergency.

Despite these disruptions, other tournament fixtures proceed. In the Copa Sudamericana, River Plate has announced five changes to its official roster, incorporating players such as Nicolás Otamendi and Ángel Correa. Meanwhile, São Paulo is preparing to face Bolívar at the Hernando Siles stadium in La Paz, Bolivia, where they must contend with an altitude of 3,650 meters.

In the Copa Libertadores, five Brazilian teams—Fluminense, Palmeiras, Cruzeiro, Flamengo, and Mirassol—remain in contention for the title. The tournament final remains scheduled for November 28 in Montevideo.
