Those classified in the Libertadores, then, will participate in a draw so that the round-trip clashes — format that remains until the semifinal — are defined, following the following criteria:
“In order to determine the rivals of each key, two tables of positions will be formed: one among the eight classified in first place in their groups (1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 1E, 1F, 1G, 1H), which will occupy Pot 1, and second among the eight ranked second in their groups (positions 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 2E, 2F, 2G, 2H), who will occupy Pot 2.
Their position in each leaderboard will be ranked from 1 to 8 for the group winners and from 9 to 16 for the second, according to their performance in the GROUP STAGE.
The teams with the best performance (lower numbers in the order from 1 to 16) will have field command in their matches. From Pot 2 (teams in second place in the groups) the 8 balls that will form the keys A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H will be drawn. pot 1 (teams in first place in the groups) the balls with the teams that will complete the brackets, thus defining the confrontations for the Round of 16.
The home teams in the first match will be the teams coming from Pot 2 (teams in second place in the GROUP STAGE). In the big decision, the cup is decided in a single game, in a stadium defined before the start of the tournament by CONMEBOL.
This season, the final will be played in Guayaquil, Ecuador, at the Estadio Monumental.”
