Action resumes in the Copa Sudamericana as Cerro Largo and Central Cordoba square off for a place in the knockout stages on Tuesday. Both sides settled for a share of the spoils in the first leg of their playoff clash last week, setting up an exciting winner-takes-all at the Estadio Campeón del Siglo.
Cerro Largo were guilty of a lack of cutting edge in front of goal last Tuesday as they played out a goalless draw with Central Cordoba in the first leg of their playoff clash in Argentina.
Danielo Nunez’s side have failed to taste victory in seven straight matches across all competitions, including three defeats and three draws in their last six Uruguayan top-flight games.
Cerro Largo’s last win came on May 29, when they beat Defensa y Justicia 2-1 in the Copa Sudamericana Group B finale to clinch second place in the table with seven points from six matches.
