Two clubs chasing Copa Libertadores glory will do battle today in a cup match between Arsenal de Sarandi and Nacional. The quarterfinal clash scheduled for 6:30 p.m. ET will be held at the Estadio Julio Humberto Grondona in Greater Buenos Aires and can be live streamed here free.
Nacional played to themselves to a 1-0 victory in the first leg against Arsenal. A goal from Derlis Orue proved to be enough to give the Paraguayan outfit an aggregate lead. It's not, however, one manager Gustavo Morinigo has faith in. He understands it will take more than a 1-0 scoreline to advance (h/t to ABC Color). "Arsenal have to overturn this tie, and we have to take advantage of the away goals [rule]," Morinigo said.
"We know Arsenal is going to come with everything. Give it everything they've got," he added.
"I would do the same. Probably in the beginning of the game. We have to think about our game, play it intelligently and always have respect for Arsenal."
"They're a dangerous team."

Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Arsenal's Julio Furch was active and unlucky in the first leg of this quarterfinal tie. The 24-year-old striker made five attempts, but only two landed on target. None were able to beat goalkeeper Ignacio Oscar Don. He'll look to rectify that this evening.
Arsenal's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Campestrini; Pérez, Braghieri, Nervo, Pirez; Freire, Sánchez, Zuculini, Sperduti; Furch, Caraglio
Nacional's Projected Lineup (4-5-1): Don; Coronel, Cáceres, Piris, Mendoza; Benítez, Orue, Riveros, Torales, Melgarejo; Bareiro
