Universidad Católica welcomes Lanús to this second leg of the Copa Sudamericana 1st Round. It's time to find a winner and both teams know what is needed.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Universidad Católica and Lanús.
Lanús 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.

Bringing on Pedro de la Vega was absolutely vital to the comeback against Atlético Tucumán as the player changed the game with two goals and ensuring the draw 2-2.
A quick return to home after this game, as Lanús are hosting Estudiantes in the Superliga only four days away.
