Atletico Mieiro and Emelec have never met on only one occasion in the history books, this will be the second time the two sides have met in an official and Copa Libertadores duel. Historically, Atlético Mineiro is good at facing Colombian teams, with 3 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats. On the other hand, Emelec does not have a good record against Brazilian teams as they have more draws than wins.
About the Stadium:
Mineirão Stadium is a sports stadium located in the Brazilian city of Belo Horizonte, capital of the state of Minas Gerais. This stadium is home to Cruzeiro and Atletico Mineiro, and also hosted the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Inaugurated in 1965, the Mineirão currently has a capacity for 60,000 spectators. It underwent a significant reduction in its capacity in order to comply with FIFA standards for soccer stadiums. Before that, the stadium had a capacity of more than 130,000 spectators. Its ground measures 115m x 76m.
Cruzeiro Esporte Clube plays in the Mineirão, disputing the Brasileirão, Brazilian Cup, state tournament and Libertadores or South American Cups.
It is named after José de Magalhães Pinto, who was governor of Minas Gerais in the 1960s. The stadium was reopened on April 24, 2013 with a match between the Brazilian national team and the Chilean national team, where both teams used players from the local midfield, ending the match with a 2:2 draw.
Looking for a surprise in Brazil
On the other hand, Emelec has had a good performance so far in the Copa Libertadores, as they got through the group stage without suffering and achieved a relatively easy qualification, in addition, they managed to keep the draw at home without having to suffer for the second leg. Now, on their trip to Brazil, they will seek to surprise and shock the entire continent, eliminating one of the top rivals in the competition.
To make their home advantage count on the scoreboard
The Atlético Mineiro squad will receive Emelec in what will be the second leg of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores, however, the time has come for them to make their home advantage count because they managed to get a draw in the first leg of the championship and must win at any cost if they want to dream of any possibility of advancing to the knockout stage of the tournament. Last match, Atlético Mineiro went to Emelec's home with a single mission: not to lose in the first leg and to return home with a lead or a draw. The Brazilian team succeeded and now it is a matter of making their home ground count to qualify for the next round of the Copa Libertadores.
For Eternal Glory
The road to Eternal Glory in South America has begun for several teams that will seek to reach the final and write their name in golden letters in the cup that every team in the continent would like to have in their trophy cabinets, the Copa Libertadores. The knockout rounds stage is already underway and this time the teams will have no chance to fail, they will have to be convincing and accurate to get the victory and thus advance to the next round in a destiny full of obstacles with the goal of winning the championship at the end of the competition.
