The 2022 Copa Libertadores — the equivalent of the UEFA Champions Leagued in South America — is wrapping up the Round of 16 stage and the bracket is set through to the final, which will be played in Guayaquil, Ecuador.

The 16 best teams on the continent have been going head-to-head in two-leg, aggregate-goal series in which the team that scores the most goals advances to the next round. So far it's been Brazilian domination, with five of seven quarterfinalists hailing from the country.

What's been different this season is that after 16 years there is no away goals tiebreaker in the knockout rounds to determine the winner in the case teams are tied on total goals scored after the conclusion of the second leg.

Instead, the teams go straight to a penalty shootout, if necessary, in the Round of 16, quarterfinals and semifinals. Extra time would only be used in the final, if the championship match ended deadlocked after 90 minutes. In the only penalty shootout of the knockout rounds so far, Boca Juniors were ousted by Corinthians in the Round of 16.

  • Round of 16: June 28-30 (1st Leg), July 5-7 (2nd Leg)
  • Quarterfinals: Aug. 2-4 (1st Leg), Aug. 9-11 (2nd Leg)
  • Semifinals: Aug. 30-Sept. 1 (1st Leg), Sept. 6-8 (2nd Leg)
  • Final: Oct. 29

Copa Libertadores 2022 Round of 16 schedule

@Libertadores

The Round of 16 draw was held on May 27 and it paired the eight group stage winners with eight group stage runners-up.

There were no rules preventing teams from the same country or from the same group being drawn together. It's the reason we had Argentine teams River Plate and Velez Sarsfield facing off, as well as Talleres and Colon. Meanwhile, Boca Juniors and Corinthians went head-to-head despite meeting in the competition's group stage.

The group winners hosted the second leg in each series, a perceived advantage given that a potential tiebreaking penalty shootout would be held on home turf.

Copa Libertadores teams in knockouts

The top two teams in each group advanced to the knockout rounds, making for a total of 16 clubs in the Round of 16. 

Defending champions Palmeiras, hailing from Brazil, are again a top contender in the competition, along with a number of other strong Brazilian clubs. A team from Brazil has won the title 21 times in the competition's history, including eight of the last 12. They're looking like strong bets to win it again.

Argentine clubs have also done well historically, with 25 total titles, but the nation has only collected three Libertadores championships across the last 12 editions.

Where is the Copa Libertadores final 2022?

The 2022 Copa Libertadores final will be a single match held at the Estadio Monumental Isidro Romero Carbo in Guayaquil, Ecuador. The stadium is currently referred to by its sponsorship name: Estadio Monumental Banco Pichincha.

The stadium is the regular home venue for Ecuadorian club Barcelona SC. 

Built in 1987, the stadium has a grass pitch. Pele attended the stadium's inauguration, and a quote attributed to him comparing the stadium to the famed Maracana in Brazil is enshrined in a plaque inside the venue.

Since 2019, the Copa Libertadores final has been held as a single-match event, a change from the old two-leg final format. If teams are tied after 90 minutes, extra time and a penalty-kick shootout, if necessary, would ensue to determine a winner.
