Two clubs chasing Copa Libertadores glory will do battle today in a cup match between Lanus and Bolivar. The quarterfinal clash scheduled for 6:45 p.m. ET will be held at the Estadio Ciudad de Lanús in Buenos Aires and can be live streamed here free.
Club Atletico Lanus reached the quarterfinals after undressing Mexican outfit Santos Laguna in the Round of 16. The 4-1 aggregate score continued the club's spectacular form, something head coach Guillermo Barros Schelotto is hoping to continue at the Estadio Ciudad de Lanús (h/t to La Razon). "One has to keep in mind the current run of form, trying to find a way to win in the same manner we have in the past," Schelotto said.
"But the most important thing is that we win this match," he added.
"Then, we'll see if we can post a superior aggregate score."
In the return leg against Santos Laguna, Lanus held 46 percent possession, conceding the ball and opting to defend their aggregate lead. The club still managed to record 16 attempts and slip two by goalkeeper Oswaldo Sanchez.
They'll look to do more of the same this evening, but will it be enough to take an aggregate lead to Bolivia? Tell us @SportsWN
