Palmeiras thrashed Bolívar and moved him to second place in his group. Even with the 4-0 against, the celestial ones already had the quota to the round of 16 secured. What difference does it make to rank first or second? The possible rivals in the next instance.
The Copa Libertadores opted for a format of crossing the first group against the second. In other words, the keys will be raffled, placing the 8 group pointers in each one, and the seconds will fill the boxes where they are raffled.
Bolívar, by placing second, will have a variety of options as rivals in the round of 16, but he will not be able to choose it. The draw will be judged and will define who the Beñat San José team will face. Next, all the first in the group, who will be in Bolillero 1 (possible rivals of Bolívar):
Bowl 1: Racing, Inter de Porto Alegre, Palmeiras, Fluminene, Independiente del Valle, Boca Juniors, Athletico Paranaense, Olimpia.
