How did Libertad fare in the first leg against Paranaense?
Athletico Paranaense defeated Libertad from Paraguay 2-1 in the first leg of the round of 16 of the 2022 Copa Libertadores, and will defend a one-goal advantage this Tuesday in the return leg in Asunción.
In an open match, with many chances for both teams, the team coached by the veteran Luiz Felipe Scolari extended their good form (12 games undefeated) and obtained an important victory against the recently crowned champions of the Paraguayan Apertura.
Two goals in the first half from the young Vitor Roque and the Colombian Nicolás Hernández gave Paranaense the victory against a Libertad team in which Héctor Villalba scored the temporary equalizer.
Paranaense only needs a draw, or a win, to advance to the quarterfinals, while Libertad will force penalties if they win by one goal and will secure their ticket to the quarterfinals if they win by two goals or more next week in Asunción.
