Aucas welcomes Vélez Sarsfield to this second leg of the Copa Sudamericana 1st Round. It's time to find a winner and both teams know what is needed.

Vélez Sarsfield have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 5700 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
