After a crazy first week with the first-leg matches of Phase 1 of the Copa Libertadores, this week will see the return matches where the teams advancing to the next round will be determined. The opening clash of this stage will be Defensor Sporting vs Puerto Cabello, set to take place at the Estadio Centenario next Tuesday, February 13, at 19:30 (ET).

This match will decide the team that continues in the race for the new edition of the Copa Libertadores of America, and they will have to face Nacional in the next encounter. It's worth mentioning that in the first-leg
match, Puerto Cabello emerged victorious with a score of 3-2 in favor of the team led by Francisco Perlo.

In this way, Puerto Cabello will strive to maintain that narrow advantage against a Defensor Sporting side whose objective is victory to stay in the fight for the Copa Libertadores organized by CONMEBOL.

For this match, key players from the visiting team (Defensor Sporting) such as Kevin Dawson (Goalkeeper), Alfonso Barco (Central Defender), and Octavio Rivero (Forward) will be the lethal weapons to secure the triumph.
On the other hand, Puerto Cabello will rely on Nicolás Fedor as the necessary tool to keep their aspirations alive for advancing in the Copa Libertadores 2024.

Defensor Sporting will face Puerto Cabello in the return leg of the first phase of the Copa Libertadores, a match that, as mentioned earlier, will take place at the Estadio Centenario in Uruguay at 19:30 (ET) and will be broadcasted on beIN SPORTS.
