The draw for the Copa Libertadores knockout round is special. It allows teams that were in the group stage together and teams from the same Country to meet in the first knockout round. That's why Corinthians and Boca Juniors were in the same group and had to continue to meet in the 1/8 round. In Group E, Boca Juniors topped the group, while Corinthians ranked 2nd in this group. Although only ranked second in the group, Corinthians earned 4 points from 2 matches against Boca Juniors. The representative of Samba proved to be more dominant when receiving the team of Tango dances. However, if counting the recent confrontations, Corinthians only won the last 2/6 matches when facing Boca Juniors. That is not really impressive achievement of the club from Brazil.
