Once the first round of the group stage of the Copa Libertadores has been completed, the numbers begin to prevail towards the final resolution that will take two teams to the round of 16.
Group B has two historical players in the contest such as Sao Paulo and Barcelona from Ecuador, another that has had a lot of international filming in recent times such as Talleres and Cobresal from Chile, a priori the weakest.
The standings put the “T” above everyone with 7 points, 6 goals scored and a difference of +3. The Brazilians have 6, with 5 goals scored and a difference equal to that of Talleres: +3. Barcelona accuses 2 units, with a difference of -2.
That remains. The Albiazules will have to play against the Ecuadorians on Wednesday, May 8 and against Cobresal on Tuesday, the 14th of that month, both at the Kempes, closing on Wednesday the 29th as a visitor to Sao Paulo.
With one of two, inside. By winning one of the two matches in Córdoba, Talleres will be in the round of 16 as it will become unattainable for Barcelona or Cobresal.
With 6 it depends on itself. If they win the 6 points at stake at home, they will depend on themselves to finish in first position. What’s more, if Talleres and Sao Paulo (they will play first in Chile and then in Brazil against Barcelona) get the next 6 points, they will arrive at the San Pablo clash separated by just one point, which will be in favor of the Cordoba team.
Possible tie. And there could even be a tie for first place if Talleres achieves 6 of the 9 and Sao Paulo accumulates 7 of the 9. And there the regulations that speak of goal difference will be applied (today +3 for each), goals in favor (6 to 5 for Talleres), more goals scored as a visitor (4 to 3 Talleres), Conmebol ranking (8th Sao Paulo and 58th Talleres) and draw.

River could qualify two dates before
River has the qualification for the round of 16 a little more leveled, since the 2 to 1 against Libertad of Paraguay allows it to look at everyone from above in Group H with nine points obtained out of nine possible.
This table shows River with 9 units, 6 goals scored and +5 in difference; National adds 6 points and +1; and Libertad 3 points without goal difference after the first round of the zone.
What’s coming On the next day, the Millionaire will visit Uruguay on Tuesday, May 7 and, depending on the result between Táchira and Libertad, he can secure his ticket to the second round two dates before and even by tying.
Follow. If Martín Demichelis’ team beats Nacional, any result other than a victory for Libertad will be enough to qualify, either as second or first in the group.
If it ties. And in the event of equality in Uruguay, the Millionaire will only be able to advance to the round two dates earlier if Táchira beats Libertad in Venezuela, since River would have a seven-point difference between them, with six to be played, leaving them to fight for first place. before National.
What if he is defeated? If they lose, then Nacional will catch up with them in points but it will hardly be first since the goal difference in favor of the Argentine team is notable. However, they will only be able to secure their place in the round of 16 with a draw on the penultimate round against the Paraguayans.
