It was a Thursday (21) of five matches for the return of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores and the South American Cup.
Which stirred up the brackets of both competitions.
Only the qualification of Independiente x Universidad de Chile, for the Sula, remains to be defined.
The return match was suspended after several episodes of violence and confusion in Avellaneda on the night of last Wednesday (20).
The Chilean team won the first leg (1x0) and was drawing in Argentine soil (1x1).
Conmebol will still make a decision.
