What They're Saying
Estudiantes manager Gabriel Milito (via Fútbol Argentina): "The knockout rounds are difficult. I would've preferred avoiding Santa Fe. They're the champions of Colombia. They qualified in a good position and we find ourselves visiting Colombia, where it's not easy to beat them. So the more prepared we are, the closer we will be to meeting our objectives."
Santa Fe physio Rafael Montana (via Terra Deportes): "Omar [Perez] felt very good on Monday. He practiced well and he said he wouldn't miss this game for the world, so we're going to tell the manager that he can have him at full strength for the match."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Perez has been in stellar form this tournament. In six Copa Libertadores appearances, the 34-year-old has two goals and three assists.
