The first leg of the 2025 Copa Sudamericana semifinals brings together two historic clubs from neighboring nations. Universidad de Chile will host Lanús in Santiago, with both sides eyeing a place in next month’s final, set to be played in Paraguay on November 22nd, against either Independiente del Valle or Atlético Mineiro.

For the Chilean side, this marks a chance to return to the competition’s biggest stage for the first time since their 2011 title-winning campaign. Their 2025 journey began in the Copa Libertadores, where La U finished third in their group before transitioning to the Sudamericana. Since then, they’ve overcome tough challenges, eliminating Independiente and Alianza Lima in the knockout rounds to reach the semifinals.

Lanús chasing redemption after stunning Fluminense

Their opponents, Lanús, arrive full of confidence after pulling off the upset of the tournament—eliminating Fluminense in the quarterfinals. The Argentine club has been one of the most consistent teams in the competition, losing just once across both the group and knockout stages.

If they advance, Lanús would reach their first Copa Sudamericana final since finishing runners-up in 2020, continuing what has been a remarkable 2025 campaign.
