Two clubs chasing Copa Libertadores glory will do battle today in a group match between Santos Laguna and Peñarol. The Group 8 clash scheduled for 10 p.m. ET will be held at the Estadio Corona in Torreón. Information on how and where to stream the match live can be found here.
Mexican outfit Santos Laguna enters today's match in proper form. The club currently sits atop Group 8 with 10 points and four points ahead of its nearest competitor. A victory over a visiting Peñarol side this evening would assure Santos' place in the knockout rounds of the Copa Libertadores. A victory, however, isn't the only option for the Warriors. The Mexican club can punch their ticket to the next round even with a draw. Peñarol must desperately capture the full three points this evening if they hope to remain an option to advance in the competition.
