From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2018 Copa Sudamericana second stage was played from 17 July to 16 August 2018.[1] A total of 32 teams competed in the second stage to decide the 16 places in the final stages of the 2018 Copa Sudamericana.[2]
The draw for the second stage was held on 4 June 2018, 20:00 PYT (UTC−4), at the CONMEBOL Convention Centre in Luque, Paraguay.[3][4] For the second stage, the teams were allocated to two pots according to their previous results in this season:[5]
- Pot 1: 10 teams transferred from the Copa Libertadores and six best winners of the first stage from the Copa Sudamericana
- Pot 2: 16 remaining winners of the first stage from the Copa Sudamericana
The 32 teams were drawn into 16 ties (O1–O16) between a team from Pot 1 and a team from Pot 2, with the teams from Pot 1 hosting the second leg. Teams from the same association could be drawn into the same tie.[6]
The following were the 10 teams transferred from the Copa Libertadores (two best teams eliminated in the third stage of qualifying and eight third-placed teams in the group stage).
