Columbus will be visiting Atlético Mineiro at the match that will be held at the Mineiro Stadium in Belo Horizonte to take revenge for the Copa Sudamericana semi-final match. The ‘Sabalero’ will be arriving as they have the advantage of winning the first leg in Santa Fe by 2-1. Atlético Miniero will also try to stress the fact that they want to reach the finals anyhow. They also want to get glorified in a milestone that will be unprecedented in its international history of games. The Sabalero will be playing against Ecuador’s Independiente Del Valle for advancing into the final round of the competition. The Ecuadorian team had beaten Corinthians in the semi-final round in Brazil.
