Two clubs chasing Copa Libertadores glory will do battle today in a cup match between León and Bolivar. The Round of 16 clash scheduled for 8 p.m. ET will be held at the Estadio Hernando Siles in La Paz and can be live streamed here free.
Both clubs fought to a 2-2 draw in the first leg of this Round of 16 tie last Wednesday. Now, both travel to La Paz in hopes of advancing to the quarterfinal. Club Bolivar manager Xabier Azkargorta understands the possibility of a knockout has heightened the pressure. This isn't the group stage anymore (h/t to Goal). "The previous matches were just three points. Basically saying, if you lose 1-0, it's the same as losing 3-0," Azkargorta said.
"Now, this is structured differently because it's home and away. Everything has its own focus," he added.
"[But] this team is strong."
Will Bolivar, however, be strong enough to advance to the quarterfinals?
