Match Preview: What’s at stake?
Cerro Porteno and Palmeiras meet at Estadio ueno La Nueva Olla with a place in the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals at stake. The first leg in Sao Paulo ended 1-1, with Flaco Lopez putting Palmeiras ahead before an own goal by goalkeeper Carlos Miguel brought Cerro level late in the match. With the aggregate score tied, a win sends either team through, while another draw means the series will be decided on penalties.

The result gives Cerro a significant opportunity in front of its home crowd. The Paraguayan club has already beaten Palmeiras 1-0 at Allianz Parque during the group stage and also drew 1-1 with the Brazilian side at La Nueva Olla earlier in the competition.
This is the 19th meeting between the two clubs, making it the most frequent cross-border matchup in Libertadores history. Palmeiras lead the overall series, but Cerro have reason to believe they can eliminate one of the tournament favorites.
Palmeiras, meanwhile, face a difficult away test after failing to capitalize on their home advantage in the first leg. Abel Ferreira‘s team will also be without Andreas Pereira, who was sent off in the opening match and is suspended for the return leg. Pereira has been Palmeiras’ leading assist provider this season, with 10 assists, creating another challenge for Abel when selecting his midfield.
