CERRO PORTENO vs. CRUZEIRO Live Stream FREE Online: 2014 Copa Libertadores Round of 16, Live Coverage From Asuncion, Projected Lineups and TACTICAL PREVIEW

Two clubs chasing Copa Libertadores glory will do battle today in a cup match between Cerro Porteño and Cruzeiro. The Round of 16 clash scheduled for 9 p.m. ET will be held at the General Pablo Rojas Stadium in Asuncion and can be live streamed here free.

Though both clubs finished the first 90 minutes of this Round of 16 tie deadlocked at one, Brazilian outfit Cruzeiro dominated their Paraguayan counterpart for a majority of the match. Cerro Porteño only managed to put six attempts on target compared to Cruzerio's 12. The Paraguayans were out-shot 32-7 altogether.

That, however, didn't keep Miguel Samudio's equalizer from finding the back of the net in the fourth minute of stoppage time.

Cruzeiro manager Marcelo Oliveira remains unphased. The Brazilian still believes his club has enough to advance in the tournament (h/t to Fox Sports). "In the next game, we have to repeat our performance," Oliveira said.

"[My] players are very focused and committed. Tactically, very organized and able to play our game," he added.

"I feel this is a strong team that can surely advance in the Copa Libertadores."
